Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[M]
Down by the riverbend
I parked by the gravel road
Smoke from a cabin stack
Risin' like it knows my name
[F]
Mama hung beans on the line
Daddy came home with the rain
Blue in the holler sky
Shinin' on the old tin frame
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
And we learned to live slow
On a hill that leans to the creek
[F]
Every cracked front step
Still felt like a promise to me
[M+F]
Oh, this place holds tight
Like a hand you can't let go
[Chorus]
West Virginia, hold me close
(hold me close)
Coal dust gold and river flow
(river flow)
West Virginia, sing it loud
(sing it loud)
Beautiful life in a mountain town
[Verse 2]
[F]
Grandma's porch screen creaks
When the June wind cuts through
Tomatoes in a bucket row
Red as a morning truth
[M]
Blackberries on the fence
Tore holes in my Sunday shirt
We laughed with a mouthful of juice
And never called that work
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
And the school bus hummed
Past the creek and the split-rail gate
[M]
Every face on that back road
Knew your name and knew your way
[M+F]
Oh, this place holds tight
Like a song you never outgrow
[Chorus]
West Virginia, hold me close
(hold me close)
Coal dust gold and river flow
(river flow)
West Virginia, sing it loud
(sing it loud)
Beautiful life in a mountain town
[Bridge]
[M]
When the evening folds in blue
Over cornfields, over pines
[F]
I can hear the whole wide world
In the crickets and the lines
[M+F]
Take my heart, take my home
Let the hills keep singing on
[Final Chorus]
West Virginia, hold me close
(hold me close)
Coal dust gold and river flow
(river flow)
West Virginia, sing it loud
(sing it loud)
Beautiful life in a mountain town
Beautiful life in a mountain town
