Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the song of creation
Sugar's growin' wild, in the mountain air
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River
Almost heaven, West Virginia.
Who can say where the road goes?
Come morning light, you and I'll know.
So grab your things, let's get together
You and I need somethin' special.
