West Virginia, My Home - Hazel Dickens Lyrics

West Virginia, My Home

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!
