My Story

He was a boy with pale blue eyes

Who came some day to realize

It's almost heaven

It's almost heaven

It's almost heaven to be free

He threw away his youth and now it's gone

The days were short, the nights were long

He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama

Take me higher, take me home"

He met some women, he met some girls

To break their hearts, to wear their shirts

He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama

Take me higher, take me home."

He was a boy with pale blue eyes

Who came some day to realize

My dream is over

My dream is over

Mountain Mama, take me home
