Railroad and River

Intro

Oh oh

Mmm

Oh oh

Verse 1

Narrow ridges

Cut into the sky

New River moving slow under old black metal bridges

Watching coal cars crawl and pass us by

Summers spent by the riverbank sand

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves turning brown

Walking quiet on the edge of the railroad town

Watching mist on the water fall down

Chorus

Take me back to the bluff

Take me back to the heights

Take me back where the mountain air is enough

Looking out across the mountain nights

West Virginia ground

Always calling me home to that mountain town

Verse 2

Timber rattling

High above the ridge

Empty main street buildings standing tall and blue and cold

Voices carry across the gap of the bridge

Red clay stuck to the palms of my hand

Pre-Chorus

Green leaves turning brown

Walking quiet on the edge of the railroad town

Watching mist on the water fall down

Chorus

Take me back to the bluff

Take me back to the heights

Take me back where the mountain air is enough

Looking out across the mountain nights

West Virginia ground

Always calling me home to that mountain town

Bridge

Iron and stone

Roots and bone

Home and home

Chorus

Take me back to the bluff

Take me back to the heights

Take me back where the mountain air is enough

Looking out across the mountain nights

West Virginia ground

Always calling me home to that mountain town
