West Virginia Lyrics

[Intro]
"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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Love of my life
Gone forever
Love of my life
Gone for good

(This is for all my friends in West Virginia)

[Verse 1]
The good stuff comes, the good stuff goes
The good stuff seems so hard to hold
Hope it slides slowly down your throat
So the taste of it may linger

Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said)
On the brink of eruption (like I said!)
Right now I'm just a psycho
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction

[Chorus]
Love of my life
Gone forever
Love of my life
Gone for good

[Verse 2]
I wish I may I wish I might
One day live life
Like a person in paradise

Right now I'm just a volcano (like I said!)
On the brink of eruption
Right now I'm just a psycho
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction
Hell-bent on self-destruction

[Refrain]
Ride or die
Brothers for life
Darkest days
Coldest nights
Ride or die
Brothers for life
Darkest days
Coldest nights

There ain't no doctor on Earth
There ain't no lord up above
Who knows a strong enough medicine
Or a life-saving love

[Bridge]
Like I said I thought I was focused
I thought I had it all figured out
I had to organize my words good
Before they'd fall right out my mouth
And I had learned that the direction
I was walking was so wrong
I just need a little help here, man
To find the path I should be on

[Chorus]
Love of my life
Gone forever
Love of my life
Gone for good
Love of my life
Gone forever
Get her back good
Good lord you know
I wish I could
