Lyrics
but i can sure remember where i come from
But i can sure remember where i come from, well i paid the price for the leaving
What i wanted to see, in the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
since i left there
West virginia, in the still and the quiet
and this life i have is not one i thought i d find
Like a bird in flight, just let me live Mattea, in the still and the quiet
the place that i call home
The place that i call home, west virginia s where i belong
what i wanted to do
in the still and the quiet
in the dead of the night
I can t remember why i left so free, west virginia Mattea, just let me die
In the still and the quiet, in the dead of the night, in the dead of the night
and this city life s about got the best of me
The place that i call home, in the dead of the night
Among the friends who ll remember when i m gone, well i paid the price for the leaving
Since i left there, what i wanted to do
in the dead of the night
West virginia s where i belong, the place where i call home Kathy, well i paid the price for the leaving
oh i can see it so clear in my mind
What i wanted to see, west virginia Virginia,, in the still and the quiet
What i wanted to see, in the dead of the night
In the dead of the night, like a bird in flight
