West Virginia My Home

West Virginia oh my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night still and the quiet
I'd slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills
The place that I call home

It's been years now since I lived there
and this city life's about gotten the best of me
I can't remember why I lived so free
what I wanted to do
who I wanted to be
but I still remember where i'm from

Now I paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have not what I thought i'd find
But let me live and love let me fly
Oh please lord when I die
Among the friends who'll remember where i'm from

Home, home, home, oh I can see it so clear in my mind
Home, home, home, I can almost taste the honeysuckle vines...
