Woke Up In West Virginia Lyrics

I'm on the road again

Deep in the hills of Tennessee

And on the ridges of Kentucky

Heaven don't seem out of reach

It's been a long drive

Thirteen hours from my lady's house

Still this trip I couldn't live without

Cause when you fly it you can't see

It's a lonely road

But alone is when you know

Just how far you've come

Livin on the run

But now I'm up an hour ahead

Of all the times I don't regret

Being lost and getting found

Of all my friends and my hometown

There's a new thing on my list

To get done before I get

Carried away in my mistakes

Them country roads won't leave you the same

So long, gone, it was nice to meet ya

I woke up in West Virginia

It's late summertime

Butterflies floating on the breeze

Seeing things that I ain't ever dreamed

my two eyes would ever see

Appalachian mountains

Where the clouds are on their knees

I like to take an evening drive

And see the deer out in the open grazing wild and free

But It's a lonely road

Well alone is when you know

Just how far you've come

As you're headed for the sun

But now I'm up an hour ahead

Of all the times I don't regret

Being lost and getting found

Of all my friends and my hometown

And there's a new thing on my list

To get done before I get

Carried away in my mistakes

Them country roads won't leave you the same

So long, gone, it was nice to meet ya

I woke up in West Virginia

And I don't wanna leave

But my home is far from me

I think I found my peace

On a gravel road, streams underneath

That scenic byway

Where the trees stand up tall

Man I've seen it all

Where the river flows surrounded by meadows

I wish you could go

Cause you won't even know

What's out there

In what seems to be nowhere

But now I'm up an hour ahead

Of all the times I don't regret

Being lost and getting found

Of all my friends and my hometown

And there's a new thing on my list

To get done before I get

Carried away in my mistakes

Country roads won't leave you the same

So long, gone, it was nice to meet ya

I woke up in West Virginia
