Leaving West Virginia |
| Well, I’m leaving West Virginia in the morning |
| And I’m headin' out that California way |
| I don’t know what I’ll find but baby it’s my time |
| And I’ll surely leave my heart below the Mason-Dixon line |
| I’ve seen a lot of folks 'round the street tonight |
| Can’t seem to find the words to say goodbye |
| We’re close enough to touch but speaking is too much |
| And goodbyes are heard without a word |
| And they’re much more than enough |
| My mama and my daddy they don’t know what to say |
| They just can’t bring themselves to understand |
| They think I run away, but to run would be to stay |
| Cause the things you want are only worth the price you have to pay |
| What is home but a place you keep within your heart |
| And call on when you need to feel assured |
| A place where all you need to be is what you are- |
| A past that in the present somehow makes you feel secure |
| Well, I’m leavin' West Virginia in the morning |
| And I’m headin' out that California way |
| I don’t know what I’ll find but baby it’s my time |
| And I’ll surely leave my heart below the Mason-Dixon line |
| Yes I’ll surely leave my heart below the Mason-Dixon line |
