Thanks to Real Art I received my first placement in a new commercial for Premier Health Hospitals. The lyrics heard in the commercial are from the song “The O.H.I.O.A.N.” which I originally put out in 2012 and rereleased in 2018 with a new instrumental as I did not own the rights to the production for the original release. Aside from being my first placement this commercial is special to me as I last my father to a cardiac event and this was his favorite song of mine.

The O.H.I.O.A.N. lyrics
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
Like the state sign says welcome to Ohio
Been a lot of places but this is the best state that I know
Right amount of sun and snow prepares you for lifes highs and lows
And keeps you on yo’ toes so you’re ready no matter what it throws
At you, I’m proud of my state so I rep it like a statue
And if I wasn’t so dark I’d probably get a tattoo
of it over my heart cause that’s where they say that home is
And If I blew up I promise that I won’t let show biz
Make me forget where it is that I am from
Born and raised here and hopefully buried when I succumb
This is for the place I have loved since I was a baby
So get yo hands in the air if you’re nuts but not crazy
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
This is the land of the free and the home of the brave
But this is also the double O so watch how you behave
Its best to lay back and mellow if you on that black and yellow
You can rep yo city here just know you get no pity
So don’t ask use why it is us Ohio fans hate
Think about it, we rivals and you in the wrong state
Wolverine fans can do the same thing to
An Ohio boy through and through so miss me wit’ that go blue
We diehard for these teams and most won’t comprehend
It’s a buckeye state of mind thing, you wouldn’t understand
So from the farm to the city if you love Ohio wit’ me
Put a hand in the air so we can show ’em we in here
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
Headed west bound on 90 it won’t be hard to find me
Just left the C-town and the whole city behind me
But that’s just how it is whenever I’m in state
No matter where I go it’s all love and no hate
That’s why when they bury me there’s only one thing that I pray
When they bury me they bury me in scarlet and gray
I said when they bury me there’s only one that I pray
When they bury me please bury me in scarlet and gray
Scarlet and Gray
Scarlet and Gray
When they bury me please bury me in scarlet and gray
Scarlet and Gray
Scarlet and Gray
When they bury me please bury me in scarlet and gray
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
I’m from the C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-D
Transplanted to the D-Y-T but no matter where I be
Or go they know it’s O-H-I-O
Until my eyes close and I wake up at Heavens doors
