Chorus:

West Virginia you are 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 there

This city life has got the best of me

I don’t remember now why I left so free

What I wanted to do what I wanted to see

But I can sure remember where I come from

Chorus:

West Virginia…

Well I’ve paid the price for leavin

Cause this life I’ve got’s not the one I thought I’d find

Let me live Lord let me cry, if I go just let me die

Among the ones who’ll remember when I’m gone

Chorus:

West Virginia…

Home, home, home Oh I can see it so clear in my mind

Home, home, home, I can almost smell the honeysuckle vine

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
