Skippin' town
Gone back to West Virginia
With just a pencil to my name
And I once had a lover
But I messed it up
And I'll write her letters of love every day
Cause I laughed at the Lord,
Danced with the woman in red
And the pillow's so cold
Where my love once laid her head
And I need more than West Virginia could give
I need salvation
I need salvation
All the times I think I see your face
In the West Virginia skies
But its never you,
And you don't need me girl,
Cause I'm just a blight
The perfume that you wear stains my heart
And the tear stains on the letters you wrote
They rip me apart
And I need so much more
Than any lover could give
I need salvation
I need salvation
I need salvation
And I need more than West Virginia could give
I need salvation.
