[Chorus] West Virginia, oh my home West Virginias 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 [Verse 1] Its been years now, since I left there And this city lifes about got the best of me I cant 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 [Chorus] West Virginia, oh my home West Virginias 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Well I paid the price for the leaving And this life I have is not one I thought Id find Just let me live, love, let me cry But when I go, just let me die Among the friends wholl remember when Im gone [Chorus] West Virginia, oh my home West Virginias 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 where I call home [Verse 3] Home, home, home Oh I can see it so clear in my mind Home, home, home I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines [Chorus] 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 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
