lyrics

Well, I was trying I think
For Michigan
But then again
It might have been for Maine
I got lost and my truck broke down
I pulled off past a sign
That said your name
I got mad as hell
I cried and cussed Danielle
The woman who had chased me out of town
But then sunlight
More like sultry eyes
Through bangs of autumn
Settled close to mine
Oh and I...

Oh West Virginia
Didn’t Ya just have to take my heart
But I forgive ya
Oh West Virginia
I’m glad you played your part

Well, the tow truck
Passed me by at first
And then red tail lights
flashed in steady beat
He hopped down
All loud and friendly
And I greeted him with silence
And cold stone feet
See, I was lost in gazing
At your neckline
Long and lazy
As it bent and twist
And curved down to your waist
He said something something carburetor
Then later
I was being dragged away
From your. Sweet. Embrace.

Oh West Virginia
Didn’t Ya just have to take my heart
But I forgive ya
Oh West Virginia
I’m glad you played your part
