Verse 1: George Homan had a dream in seventy-seven In Dayton Ohio under the midwest sky Custom chemicals and refillable tanks He built something real and he built it right Recessions came and industries shifted The internet boom and the bust came too Sixty manufacturing centers standing Nearly fifty years and we're still coming through Chorus: Born in Dayton, Ohio Refill not landfill, we don't throw it away Born in Dayton, Ohio We've outlasted everything that came our way HEY — HEY — HEY — HEY Verse 2: We mixed the chemicals in food and beverage We cleaned the floors and the printing lines Parts cleaning, concrete, forest products Delivered custom to the tank every time The H-700 running in sixty centers Owner-operators holding down their ground Corporate in Dayton holding the formula Forty-eight years and we have never backed down (Chorus) Bridge: We lived through the oil shocks and the Reagan years We survived the nineties and Y2K We made it through 2008 and a pandemic And now Ken Blewett's leading the way They're talking about Claude and agentic workflows And I don't even have it installed yet today But if we built this company from a tank and a handshake I think we can figure out what the AI's gonna say Verse 3: Sixty centers from Dayton to everywhere Cleaner science running through our veins AI is just another tool in the arsenal For a company that never runs from change The Lab team's got the formulas locked down Finance is saving days on month-end close Sales is finding competitors nobody noticed And we're just getting started, nobody knows (Chorus) Outro — big and loud: BORN IN DAYTON — OHIO REFILL NOT LANDFILL NEARLY FIFTY YEARS WE'RE STILL HERE HEY — HEY — HEY — HEY
