Kathy Mattea - West Virginia, My Home lyrics

West Virginia, oh my home West Virginia, 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, 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 paid the price for the leavin' And this life I have's not one I thought I'd find Just let me live, love, let me cry But when I go, just let me die Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone West Virginia, oh my home West Virginia, 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 honeys**le 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
