This demo is from the Back on Top sessions and the lyrics from it became what is now the song “West Virginia”
(Check, check)
Is it raining where you are?
The only thing I could think to ask
But nothing ever hurt so bad
As the no that you said back
But ain't that the truth, man?
Those are just facts
The farther you go from where you start
The harder it is to get back
In order to figure things out
I gotta get real, real confused
I'm just trying to figure out what I've started, man
I'm just doing what I need to do
Love of my life, gone forever
Love of my life, gone for good
Love of my life, gone forever
Get her back, good lord
You know I wish I could
Tried to explain, I tried to explain to you
That everything I'm doing right now
Won't pay off for another year or two
I never thought that it'd get so far
But now I'm doing what I gotta do
I understand that business is business
And I hope that you do too
I do not blame you, your natural instinct to protect
Gave me a list of things to keep this going
And I only got a few more things to get
This one's for the privacy I think that I deserve
No, you can not join in
Goddamn, these people got some nerve
Leave me alone, I'm trying to get in the zone
Leave me alone, I'm trying to get in the zone
Love of my life, gone forever
Love of my life, gone for good
