He came from ohio
married the first girl again
and somewhere in reno
in his el camino he never did see her again
no world can look like it did before
but this one comes pretty close
to the swinging door
One time's a shame
two time and you're to blame
and you lose your precious crown
the third time around
This ain't no freeway
you pay for it someday - i guess
he came from ohio
another day another stain on your map of regret
no world can look like it did before
but this one comes pretty close to the swinging door
And you get no sleep and you're overdue
the faithful creep when they're leaving you
and you wonder why
One time's a shame
two time and it looks like rain
and they say your luck is found
the third time around
