West Virginia Man

Verse 1:
I was raised in the number 3 speed trap in the land
I spent my Friday nights in the marching band
Living in the mountains shining blue and gold, but as for me
I spent my early twenties wearing white and green
My Mama always made it work
Serving the locals til her fingers hurt
In a small town where everybody knows who I am
I still take time to shake a neighbors hand

Chrous:
I'm a West Virginia man no where else is good
I call the mountains home just like I should
Where the tea is sweet and the biscuits have gravy
The beer is cheap and the in-laws are crazy
Been lot of places and seen a lot of land
You can't change me I'm a West Virginia man

Verse 2:
Now in West Virginia we treat our neighbors right
Never met a stranger we didn't like
The teenaged crowd sits in a parking lot
Staying out past curfew trouble or not
While their parents roam around town with their windows down.
We can always spot an out of towner on the dot
They still wonder if we're a state or not
Been a state since 1863, still one big family
We are the part of grass Virginia didn't want.

Chorus:

Bridge:
Forget fancy pools, we will swim in the lake
Who needs a convertible when you have a ford tailgate

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Now my days in the mountains have come and gone
And those memories come alive in this country song
My high school is still my favorite team
Tiger bred, blue and white I bleed
I'll always go fishing in my hometown stream
Smelling that mountain air every breath I breathe
All because..

Chorus:
