Late night driving old cars Through your neighborhood views Parked out by the clifftops Where no one else knew Time stood still for hours In that West Virginia Heat Built our courage up all summer For a moment so discreet and we were Fresh in our youth But we were out all on our own Some of us went off to college Some just left their homes Too young to be trusted We were still earning our scars But we'd all come back for the holidays Share our stories in the bars The lights shined brighter When you were around Like a hurricane before me Like a fire full of sound You make me wanna never ever Leave this town But on the day I left I took a moment to rest Then I packed up all my things and I got out But I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back, come running back to you Yeah I'd come running back, to all the things you'd say Am I too smart to give you up Or am I just too dumb to stay away Sometimes this life has got me Bursting at the seems But I can't pay off all the credit cards With the currency of dreams So I took the job with benefits And forty hours a week Now my weekends they don't matter much No my weekends they don't matter much Some days I try to remember When I'm feeling incomplete About the clifftops where you kissed me And that West Virginia Heat All my best friends from high school I barely talk to But its not that we don't want to No its not that we don't want to The lights shined brighter When you were around Like a hurricane before me Like a fire full of sound You make me wanna never ever Leave this town But on the day I left I took a moment to rest Then I packed up all my things and I got out But I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back, come running back to you Yeah I'd come running back, to all the things you'd say Am I too smart to give you up Or am I just too dumb to stay away I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back I'd come running back, come running back to you I'd come running back
