West Virginia roots

Grow deep within my heart

And her ever winding rivers

Have formed me into art

The mountains held me high

When I felt that I would fall

And her gentle valleys cradled me

When I feared I'd lost it all

The long country roads I walked

Led me to my home

Her land greeted me with open arms

And welcomed me as its own

West Virginia blood

Flows freely through my veins

I am wild and I'm wonderful

And I will never be tamed
