Back to the Panhandle

Intro

Hmm

Ooh

Hm-hmm

Verse 1

Narrow ribbon road

Wild walnut trees shaking in the evening breeze

Mist moves over top the creek

Four voices singing soft while the engine begins to leak

Pre-Chorus

Green rolling hills

Fast moving water

Higher than mountains

Deeper than home

Chorus

Take me back where the rivers wind

Take me back where the people are kind

West Virginia soul

Sweet West Virginia soul

Take me back to that ridge

Take me back past the bridge

Verse 2

Rusted screen door

Red porch swing humming on the worn pine floor

Blue sky starts to fade

Tired men leaning back in the cool black mountain shade

Pre-Chorus

Green rolling hills

Fast moving water

Higher than mountains

Deeper than home

Chorus

Take me back where the rivers wind

Take me back where the people are kind

West Virginia soul

Sweet West Virginia soul

Take me back to that ridge

Take me back past the bridge

Bridge

Under the moon we stay

Under the moon we pray

Under the moon we find our way

Hearing that harmony rise through the dark

Stray sparks jumping from the hearth

Chorus

Take me back where the rivers wind

Take me back where the people are kind

West Virginia soul

Sweet West Virginia soul

Take me back to that ridge

Take me back past the bridge

Post-Chorus

Far away

Right at home

Long ago

Far away

Right at home

Long ago
