[00:17.44] West Virginia, oh my home.
[00:25.70] West Virginia, where I belong.
[00:34.26] In the dead of the night
[00:36.56] in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird in flight
[00:42.38] Back to those hills, the place that I call home.
[00:50.14] It's been years now since I left there
[00:58.51] And this city life's about got the best of me.
[01:06.46] I can't remember why I left so free what I wanted to do,
[01:12.15] what I wanted to see.But I can sure remeber where I come from
[01:23.48] West Virginia, oh my home.
[01:31.44] West Virginia, where I belong.
[01:39.99] In the dead of the night
[01:42.44] in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird in flight
[01:48.01] Back to those hills, the place that I call home.
[02:27.10] Well I paid the price for the leavin'
[02:36.36] And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find.
[02:44.21] Well let me live, love, let my cry, but when I go just let me die
[02:52.02] Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone.
[02:59.37] West Virginia, oh my home.
[03:07.32] West Virginia, where I belong.
[03:15.56] In the dead of the night
[03:17.56] in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird in flight
[03:23.31] Back to those hills, the place that I call home.
[03:32.12] Home, home, home.
[03:39.37] I can see it so clear in my mind.
[03:47.82] Home, home, home.
[03:55.19] I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines.
[04:04.11] In the dead of the night
[04:06.01] in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird in flight
[04:11.76] Bback to those hills, the place that I call home.
