West Virginia, My Home Songtext / Lyric

West Virginia, oh my home

West Virginia, 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

And this city life's about got 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, 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






Well I paid the price for the leavin'

And this life I have's 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'll remember when I'm gone



West Virginia, oh my home

West Virginia, 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



Home, home, home

Oh, I can see it so clear in my mind

Home, home, home

I can almost smell the honeysuckle vine



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
