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 remeber 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 is not one I thought I'd find.
Well let me live, love, let my 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.
I can see it so clear in my mind.
Home, home, home.
I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines.
In the dead of the night
in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird in flight
Bback to those hills, the place that I call home.
