West Virginia, My Home

West virginia, oh my home
West virginia, 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 there
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 come from
Well I paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find
Just let me live, love, let my cry, but when I go just let me die
Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone
Home, home, home
I can see it so clear in my mind
Home, home, home
I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines
