West Virginia, oh, my home,
West Virginia's 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 it,
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 remember where I came from.
West Virginia, oh, my home,
West Virginia's 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 leaving,
And this life I have is not the one I thought I'd find.
Just let me live, love, let me 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's 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,
Oh, I can see it's all here in my mind.
Home, home, home,
I can almost smell the honey suckle veins.
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.
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.
