Becca:

My Irish Band did this years ago. Being from West Virginia it was a natural. We're still there by the way.

You have the Chorus (WV) and bridge (Home, Home, Home) dead on.

It's been years now since I left there
This city life's 'bout got the best of me
I can't remember why I left so free
All I wanted to do, all I wanted to be
But I can sure remember where I come from.

Chorus

I've paid the price for leavin'.
This life I've got's not the one I thought I'd find.
Let me live, love, and let me cry,
But when I go, just let me die
Among the ones who'll remember when I'm gone

Chorus

Bridge

Chorus

I do hope this is complete and correct! Good singin!
