==Lyrics==
When the buzzards return to Hinckley Ridge, oh
Every heart is young and gay
With wings out spread
They circle overhead
Telling us spring is on its way...
In Ohio
While we await, our heart ventures, whoa
In the shelter of the bridge
Mother Nature sends the word
She is giving us the moment
When the buzzards return to Hinckley Ridge
(vocalizes)
(applause)
