"west virginia" lyrics

Morning rays in the mountains
We would play with old shit from the shed
Hand-me-downs of the finest degree
Roll down hills and just drown in the green
New grass stain on my old jeans
Come inside to momma yellin' at me
Bologna sandwich if I'm lucky
But some nights you're goin' to bed hungry

Standing on your own at the side of the road
Wherever you go doesn't feel like home
That's how I spent these past few years

Where I'm from is where I wanna be
Take me home to see my family
Feelin' good, finally feelin' free
West Virginia is a part of me
Where I'm from is where I wanna be
Take me home to see my family
Feelin' good, finally feelin' free
West Virginia is a part of me

Ooh, the comfort of what's familiar
Sweet like that cynical look of anger
I saw when I looked into my mirror
What a heavy reminder, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
It's been hard tryna move on
I pretend just to approve on all the things that I lost in
I don't wanna be reminded

Standing on your own at the side of the road
Wherever you go doesn't feel like home
That's how I spent these past few years

Where I'm from is where I wanna be
Take me home to see my family
Feelin' good, finally feelin' free
West Virginia is a part of me
Where I'm from is where I wanna be
Take me home to see my family
Feelin' good, finally feelin' free
West Virginia is a part of me

Where I'm from is where I wanna be
Take me home to see my family
Feelin' good, finally feelin' free
West Virginia is a part of me
