Kate Power & Steve Einhorn: Music

West Virginia My Home

(Steve Einhorn)
Hazel Dickens
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
'Bout 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

Well I paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have's
Not the one I thought I'd find
Well, let me live, love
Let me cry
And when I go, just let me die
Among the friends
Who'll remember when I'm gone

Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it so slear in my mind
Home, home, home
I can almost smell that 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
