The lyrics of Justice Feat. Vincent Vendetta's song Ohio appear to be a simple name-drop of American states, with the repeated phrase "Right on" linking them together. However, upon closer examination, there could be a deeper meaning behind these four states. Ohio, Tennessee, and California are all located in different regions of the country, with vastly different cultures, economies, and politics. The inclusion of these states might represent a desire for diversity and experiencing new things. The word "endlessly" implies that this desire is unquenchable and never-ending.
Moreover, the repeated phrase "Right on" is often used as an affirmation or agreement. It is a way of saying "Yes, that's correct" or "I agree with what you're saying". Perhaps this is suggesting that the desire for diversity and new experiences is something that is shared among many people. Overall, the lyrics of Ohio are open to interpretation and could mean different things to different listeners.

The way I see it, it is a tribute to David Crosby. His 1971 song 'Orleans' (which sounds very much like this one) is made by an American about French cities. So as a homage to him, Justice made Ohio - a song by Frenchmen about American places. ;)
@MesterJong
AndreasGowno Just a wild thought, I thought we could interpret this song to represent the current American political landscape as well. Ohio is a well-known swing state, California is a blue state, and Tennessee is a quite red one. Thus, the ultimate question of "Ohio, California, and Tennessee" just repeats itself endlessly every 4 years.
@dentistguba
One could say it's the new Orleans.
@lefthandedspanner
minor nitpick, "Orleans" was not so much an original song as Crosby's arrangement of a much older (as in, 500+ year old) French song
@juliocesarpereira4325
@Neal J. Won There's also a song called 'Ohio' by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young about that sad incident where students were killed by the Police know as "The Ken State killings".
@hobbesthegoblin
@Julio Cesar Pereira The students were killed by the national guard, not police. And it was at Kent State. Barbie was not present.

When he said "Ohio, Tennessee, California" I really felt that.
@sentinel427
I cried when he said "right on"
@trueluscao

@DTheAustralian
