Lyrics

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 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
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've paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have's not one I thought I'd find
Well let me live, love - let me cry
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 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, home
