I got my car packed up and the pedal down
Heading for a little bit of hallowed ground
I know the way and it calls my name
But when I get there, I won't want to leave
'Cause I still get the chills every time I see
That welcome sign and cross that state line

To a place I love to go
A place I love more than you know
The only place that feels like I'm home

It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where it's almost heaven and wild and wonderful
It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where the country roads and mountains are magical
It's a part of me, it's the heart of me
It's West by God, West by God Virginia

And from the canyon at Blackwater Falls
To the River Gorge and Gauley River walls
There's peace of mind and the folks are kind
And then the overlook out at Coopers Rock
With the autumn colors on those treetops
Red, green, and gold, it just heals my soul

Of all the beauty on this earth
He did His very best work
Right here in the Appalachian dirt

It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where it's almost heaven and wild and wonderful
It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where the country roads and mountains are magical
It's a part of me, it's the heart of me
It's West by God, West by God Virginia

So many memories
With my friends and family
All singing in harmony
Mountaineers are always free

It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where it's almost heaven and wild and wonderful
It's West by God, West by God Virginia
Where the country roads and mountains are magical
It's a part of me, it's the heart of me
It's West by God, West by God Virginia

Just one more thing and we'll try to be polite
We might be west, but we aren't Virginia
So it's time to get it right

It's West by God, West by God
It's West by God, West by God
It's West by God, West by God Virginia
