West Virginia Lyrics

"Is it raining where you are?"

The only thing I could think to ask

But nothing ever hurt so bad

As the "no" that you said back

But ain't that the truth, man?

Those are just facts

The farther you go from where you start

The harder it is to get back

Love of my life

Gone forever

Love of my life

Gone for good

This is for all my friends in West Virginia

The good stuff comes, the good stuff goes

The good stuff seems so hard to hold

Hope it slides slowly down your throat

So the taste of it may linger

Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)

On the brink of eruption (like I said!)

Right now I'm just a psycho

Hell bent on self-destruction [x4]

Love of my life

Gone forever

Love of my life

Gone for good

I wish I may I wish I might

One day live life like a person in paradise

Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)

On the brink of eruption

Right now I'm just a psycho

Hell bent on self-destruction [x4]

Ride or die

Brothers for life

Darkest days

Coldest nights

[x2]

There ain't no doctor on Earth

There ain't no lord up above

Who knows a strong enough medicine

Or a life-saving love

Like I said I thought I was focused

I thought I had it figured out

How to organize my words good

Before they fall right out my mouth

But I have learned that the direction

I was walking was so wrong

I just need a little help here, man

To find the path I should be on

Love of my life

Gone forever

Love of my life

Gone for good

Love of my life

Gone forever

Get her back

Good lord you know

I wish I could
