West Virginia State of Mind

I’m in a West Virginia state, West Virginia state, West Virginia state of mind

I’ve been in a lot of places; I’ve seen a lot faces on the many roads that I’ve traveled

But no matter where I’m gone, there is no place like home even tho some roads are made of gravel

I’m gonna pack up my old car, I’m gonna head for the state line cause I miss my friends I left behind

I’m in a West Virginia state of mind, I’m in a West Virginia state of mind

And I’m missing the coal trucks holding coal from the mines

And the old folks in their rock chairs rocking away the time

And I’m missing my daddy playing checkers with his friends

And I’m miss hearing his laughter each time that he wins

And I miss the sweet, sweet smell of mama’s blackberry cobbler

And the sound of birds singing in the summer time

I’m in a West Virginia state of mind, I’m in a West Virginia state of mind

There’s something very special about this place

And you can see it in everybody’s face

Every woman, every man and every child

They’ll greed you with a smile, that’s that West Virginia style

That wanna make you run a country mile

I’m in a West Virginia state of mind, I’m in a West Virginia state of mind

I’m in a West Virginia state, a West Virginia state, a West Virginia state of mind

I’m in a West Virginia state, a West Virginia state, a West Virginia state of mind
