Almost Heaven

©2023 Oyo and Aaron Martin

Your old boots and your old records
lay on my floor collecting dust
Mine was yours and yours was mine,
Still think about the time

We danced underneath the Elkins moon
Swinging all around to a fiddle tune
From down in Pocahontas to the Blackwater Falls
we watched that sun go down behind those canyon walls

Here I sit in West Virginia
way up high, feeling low
Folks say it’s almost heaven
but not since you’re gone

Or that time in Dolly Sods we got caught out in the rain
We found an old birch tree to hide out for the day
Laughing all the while I held your hand
Then we laid down made love in the sand

Here I sit in West Virginia
way up high, feeling low
Folks say it’s almost heaven
but not since you’re gone

Now its drinks all around another Friday night
Gang’s all here, but it don’t seem right
singing songs again about the ones we love
Maybe something else just as long as it ain’t slow

Here I sit in West Virginia
way up high, feeling low
Folks say it’s almost heaven
but not since you’re gone
