West Virginia, oh my home West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
It's been years now since I left there
This city life's about God, the best of me
I can't remember why I left so free
What I wanted to do, what I wanted to see
But I can sure remember where I come from
West Virginia, oh my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
Will I pay the price for the leaving?
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find
Just let me live, love, let me cry
But when I go, just let me die
Among the friends who remember when I'm gone
West Virginia, oh my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place where I call home
Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it's all clear in my mind
Home, home, home
I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines
My lips are covered in snow

But I can sure remember where I come from


Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it's all clear in my mind
Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it's all clear in my mind
Thank you.
You
