West Virginia, don't mind me when
I say I am going away for good
Moving away like I should
Boy, if I could
West Virginia, I might say I'm fine
But I know I am losing my mind
One day I'm gonna walk
Right out these roots
That hold me down right here
Right out of these roots
That hold me down right here
West Virginia, don't mind me when
I flee to the town by the sea for good
Step out of these roots like I should
Boy, if I could
West Virginia, why don't you settle and stay?
Cause you all left me anyway
One day I'm gonna walk
Why do you root yourself
When you're leaving the ground?
Why do you root yourself
When you're leaving this town?
Why do you root yourself
When you're leaving the ground?
Why do you root yourself
When you're leaving the ground?
