My original thought was to use all real tracks. At the 11th hour I stripped out a Mandolin solo

and replaced it with my Acoustic guitar.

In the course of a conversation last night about hometowns, a friend had this observation. We

all carry with us a residue of where we come from. I couldn’t agree more…

Your West Virginia


Up across the river from Ashland Ky

Down a road that’s a little hard to find

There’s a barn wood mailbox nailed onto a fence post

Like most things there it’s one of a kind


Two overgrown tire tracks head back to the holler

Where my grandad built the family store

He worked a 12 hour shift in the West Virginia coal mines

Came home at night and worked many more


No matter how far you go or where you plan on stopping

There’s that place where the sun rarely shines

It’s a deep dim smoky light like nothing you will ever see

No You can’t leave your West Virginia behind


If you ever go back to where you were a child

And look at all the changes you see

Every now and then you may get a little lucky

And remember how it all used to be


No matter how far you go or where you plan on stopping

There’s that place where the sun rarely shines

It’s a deep dim smoky light like nothing you will ever see

No You can’t leave your West Virginia behind


Up across the river from Ashland Ky

Down a road that’s a little hard to find

There’s a barn wood mailbox nailed onto a fence post

Like most things there it’s one of a kind
