Verse Ridin’ on this city bus my thoughts begin to wonder. Though I’m starin’ out at grey concrete,my mind sees mountains yonder. Even though that diesel smoke burns hot within my nose, I am smelling evergreen pine trees and mountain laurel groves. ‘Where that crystal mountain water tumbles down the green hillsides In my home in West Virginia where the people live with pride. Though I only see those mountains in my memories today, I’m leavin’ this ol’ city and I’m goin’ home to stay. Goin’ home to stay. Outside this dirty window, I can see folks push and shove, And I don’t see any sign of what’s called simple human love. Their faces are as somber as the cold skyscrapers there, And those people like the buildings show no outward sign of care. Now it’s time to leave this bus and start another day At my job here in the city, but down in my heart I pray That my trips back home will soon not just take place within my mind, But that I will soon be walking though those mountains and the pines.
