Almost Heaven West Virginia

Driving down the highway, the sun shinning bright.
The mountains in my view, oh what a sight!

Some say it's "Almost Heaven" and I think it must be true.
It takes my breath away just looking at the view.

My West Virginia home, you seem so far away.
I miss every thing about, you every single day.

These little back home visits, for now will have to do.
But I'll be back one day to stay, this I promise you.

Back in West Virginia, where I was born and bred.
Work got scarce so we packed up and fled.

Thank God we found a place to go, where a living we could make.
But the day we find we can return, that back home flight we'll take.

I'll stay in Almost Heaven, until the real thing I can see
When Jesus takes me home, to spend eternity.

I'll praise Him throughout the ages and thank Him for giving me.
An almost heaven home, while waiting the real heaven to see.
