West Virginia Heat Lyrics

Late night driving old cars

Through your neighborhood views

Parked out by the clifftops

Where no one else knew

Time stood still for hours

In that West Virginia Heat

Built our courage up all summer

For a moment so discreet and we were

Fresh in our youth

But we were out all on our own

Some of us went off to college

Some just left their homes

Too young to be trusted

We were still earning our scars

But we'd all come back for the holidays

Share our stories in the bars

The lights shined brighter

When you were around

Like a hurricane before me

Like a fire full of sound

You make me wanna never ever

Leave this town

But on the day I left I took a moment to rest

Then I packed up all my things and I got out

But I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back, come running back to you

Yeah I'd come running back, to all the things you'd say

Am I too smart to give you up

Or am I just too dumb to stay away

Sometimes this life has got me

Bursting at the seems

But I can't pay off all the credit cards

With the currency of dreams

So I took the job with benefits

And forty hours a week

Now my weekends they don't matter much

No my weekends they don't matter much

Some days I try to remember

When I'm feeling incomplete

About the clifftops where you kissed me

And that West Virginia Heat

All my best friends from high school

I barely talk to

But it's not that we don't want to

No its not that we don't want to

The lights shined brighter

When you were around

Like a hurricane before me

Like a fire full of sound

You make me wanna never ever

Leave this town

But on the day I left I took a moment to rest

Then I packed up all my things and I got out

But I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back, come running back to you

Yeah I'd come running back, to all the things you'd say

Am I too smart to give you up

Or am I just too dumb to stay away

I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back

I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back

I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back

I'd come running back, come running back to you

I'd come running back
