West Virginia, My Home Lyrics - Calling Me Home - Kathy Mattea

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 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
