Heading East To West Virginia

I met her down in Morgantown, it was last December
I fell in love so I bought her a ring
I never thought I'd see the day I'd be leavin' Texas
With all my things and cross that Mississippi

Headin' east to West Virginia
I told that girl that I'd be there and I said what I mean
She called me on the phone and told me 'boy, I miss ya'
That's why I'm headin' east to West Virginia

When I left Dallas, it was cold and stormy
Rain so hard that I could barely see
But if it takes me all day and night, I'll be there by mornin'
I ain't wastin' time she's countin' on me

Headin' east to West Virginia
I told that girl that I'd be there and I said what I mean
She called me on the phone and told me 'boy, I miss ya'
That's why I'm headin' east to West Virginia

Headin' east to West Virginia
I told that girl that I'd be there and I said what I mean
She called me on the phone and told me 'boy, I miss ya'
That's why I'm headin' east to West Virginia

She called me on the phone and told me 'boy, I need ya'
That's why I'm headin' east to West Virginia
