Intro: Skippin' town Gone back to West Virginia With just a pencil to my name And I once had a lover But I messed it up And I'll write her letters of love every day Cause I laughed at the Lord, Danced with the woman in red And the pillow's so cold Where my love once laid her head And I need more than West Virginia could give I need salvation I need salvation Instrumental Section All the times I think I see your face In the West Virginia skies But its never you, And you don't need me girl, Cause I'm just a blight The perfume that you wear stains my heart And the tear stains on the letters from you They rip me apart And I need so much more Than any lover could give I need salvation I need salvation I need salvation And I need more than West Virginia could give I need salvation.
