lyrics

Going down
Down to West Virginia
Doing time
Down in West Virginia
Gonna hit the turn
Gonna let the engine burn
Gonna lock and load
Gonna hit the road

Down in West Virginia
Down in West Virginia
Down in West Virginia

Gonna win it big
Gonna snap just like a twig
Gonna be a man
Gonna make em understand

Down in West Virginia
Down in West Virginia
Down in West Virginia
Down in West Virginia

Gonna drink moonshine from a pistol
Then shoot Mothman in the face
Gonna swim through the Teflon river
And climb the mountains into outer space

Country roads
Take me home
Dump my body
Where it belongs
In West Virginia

Gonna learn how to play the banjo
Mandolin and fiddle too
Gonna start me a demon string band
Gonna steal away your souls from you

Country roads
Take me home
Burn my body
Where it belongs
In West Virginia

In West Virginia
Down in West Virginia
