I was born in West Virginia
Where the mountains touch the sky
And I've been all around the world since then
I've seen waters running through the streets in Amsterdam
But I still don't know a better place than home
Yeah, I left there after school
And headed down to Florida
Where the beaches
And the oceans never end
And there I met girl
Our hearts were long lost lovers
She said "Yes"
And then I married my best friend
I guess home is what you make it
It's all in how you take it
You can never let the grey skies get you down
I was born in West Virginia
Where the mountains touch the sky
And I still don't know a better place than home
We had kids and moved up north,
Where the cold will eat right through ya,
And the people wish for brighter, better days
But the summertime is sweet,
The kids are chasing fireflies
We all stay outside before it goes away.
I guess home is where you make it
It's all in how you take it
You can never let the grey skies get you down
I was born in West Virginia
Where the mountains touch the sky
And I still don't know a better place than home
In my dreams I see the mountains
I can hear the cardinal singin
I remember drivin' down those country roads
I know she's back there waitin
If you're from there then you get it
Mountain Mama always welcomes back her own
I guess home is what you make it
It's all in how you take it
You can never let the grey skies get you down
I was born in West Virginia
Where the mountains touch the sky
And I still don't know a better place than home
