Lyrics
Now I'm west of West Virginia
Moving on through Tennessee
And the miles of misty memories
Back to 1953
Daddy moved to Cincinnati
Spent his life on the factory line
But we never left West Virginia
In our hearts and in our minds
You better get your things in order
That's what the Doctor said
But I won't spend my final hours
In some cold and lonely bed
Now I'm west of West Virginia
Moving on through Tennessee
And the miles of misty memories
Back to 1953
There's the well beside the garden
Where my Daddy plowed the rows
And I drew the sparkling water
How many times nobody knows
There's the field where Bobby Baker
Fought for the hand of Ellen Black
I didn’t know when he enlisted
That he wasn't coming back
Now I'm west of West Virginia
Moving on through Tennessee
And the miles of misty memories
Back to 1953
Through the tears of my dear Jenny,
The doctor softly said he's gone
Now I'm west of West Virginia
And finally moving on
