Well, I'm leaving West Virginia
Am 
G 
in the morning
F 
C 
G 
And I'm headin' out that California way
C 
I don't know what I'll find but
F 
baby it's my time
C 
G 
And I'll surely leave my heart below the

line
C

I've seen a lot of folks 'round
Am 
G 
the street tonight
F 
C 
Can't seem to find the words
G 
to say goodbye

And goodbyes are heard
G 
without a  word

My mama and my daddy
Am

they don't know what to say

selves to understand
C 
They think I run away,
F 
but to run would be to stay
C 
G 
Cause the things  you want are only
F 
C

worth the price you have to pay
Am 
G 
What is home but a place you
F 
keep within your heart
G 
Am 
G 
F 
And call on when you need to feel assured
G
