Lyrics
West Virginia
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you watch me float around
For two weeks straight
And the things you love will drown
With the things I hate
Oh well
It's only for a while
Until I get things right
Just let me dream all day
And stay up all night
I know what your saying
When you're not really talking right
Who are you fooling?
'Cause I'm going forwards and
Looking backwards Virginia
I'm going forward
And looking back West Virginia
You live you love you learn
You lose you gain
And you know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game
You know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game
You know you'll never win
But you can't even quit the game
I know what your saying
When you're not really talking right
And who are you fooling?
Who?
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backwards Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backwards Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backward Virginia
Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
West Virginia
