[Verse 1]
Have you traveled the scenic highway
And driven among the clouds
Met real country people
Living free and living proud
Or walked the streets of Lewisburg
Where history can be found
Where God truly shed His grace on me
[Verse 2]
At the age of seventeen, I felt the urge to roam
Headed west to chase a dream
Far from my mountain home
But everywhere I traveled
And everything I see
I hear the Appalachians calling me
[Chorus]
I can hear ole' Ca** singin' out
On her way up to Whitaker
The river runners are gearin' up
Gonna take on New River
No matter where I wander
Or where I have to roam
I'll return to my Wild Wonderful West Virginia Home
[Verse 3]
I've searched the whole world over
But no place have I found
Like good ole' West Virginia
And the folks in my hometown
I know that I'll grow old there
With all my family
For the heart of West Virginia
Is beatin' deep in me
[Chorus]
I can hear ole' Ca** singin' out
On her way up to Whitaker
The river runners are gearin' up
Gonna take on New River
No matter where I wander
Or where I have to roam
I'll return to my Wild Wonderful West Virginia Home
[Bridge]
There's pride within your mountains
And your waters call my name
I've climbed the Rockies and the Tetons
But they're somehow not the same
[Chorus]
I can hear ole' Ca** singin' out
On her way up to Whitaker
The river runners are gearin' up
Gonna take on New River
No matter where I wander
Or where I have to roam
I'll return to my Wild Wonderful West Virginia Home
[Tag]
No matter where I wander
Or where I have to roam
I return to my Wild Wonderful
Almost Heaven West Virginia Home
