Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rolling back into town, thirty years gone by,
With the echoes of my childhood, beneath a West Virginia sky.
From the hills I once called home, to the valleys of Georgia's heat,
But the memories held close, they keep my heart on beat.
Used to bath in that metal tub, under the moonlight's glow,
No indoor plumbing, just a pump, where the cool water would flow.
Wood stoves in the kitchen, cooking up a Sunday feast,
Me and my family gathered ‘round, those moments meant the least.

[Chorus]
Oh, the hills of West Virginia, where the heart knows to roam,
With the laughter of my childhood, and the love that feels like home.
But as I drive through changes, I feel a longing in my soul,
For the simpler days of yesteryears, that make this man whole.

[Verse 2]
Hanging clothes out on the line, where the wind would dance and play,
Pizza Hut for family gatherings, where we'd laugh the night away.
Dropping quarters in the jukebox, tuning in to sweet old songs,
Roller skating in Rainelle, where all the kids belong.
The old sewing factory now quiet, just memories still remain,
And Long John Silver's in the lot, where Mom would always gain.
The movie theater's gone, where we caught the latest flick,
Life seemed simpler back then, each moment felt like a magic trick.

[Chorus]
Oh, the hills of West Virginia, where the heart knows to roam,
With the laughter of my childhood, and the love that feels like home.
But as I drive through changes, I feel a longing in my soul,
For the simpler days of yesteryears, that make this man whole.

[Verse 3]
Now the world is moving fast, racing with unyielding pace,
Sometimes I long for the stillness, to embrace that slower place.
The sound of children playing, red light greenlight, red rover, red rover
I close my eyes and picture it, oh, how the heart believes.
Let’s rewind to those moments, where love was all you’d need,
In a world that spins so quickly, it’s the simple times we plead.

[Chorus]
Oh, the hills of West Virginia, where the heart knows to roam,
With the laughter of my childhood, and the love that feels like home.
But as I drive through changes, I feel a longing in my soul,
For the simpler days of yesteryears, that make this man whole.

[Outro]
In the hills of West Virginia, my heart beats a little strong,
With all those precious memories, I know where I belong.
