    Story Behind the Song
    I've gown up with music in my family. This song is for my grand father who passed away. He grew up in West Virginia and at times I can hear a little bit of his music making it's way in to mine. It's good to have history and this is mine.

    Lyrics
    West Virginia

    The sun setting
    The cold of silence
    The earth falling
    These are the sounds of good-bye

    Rough scrawling
    On a page turning
    Chapters burning
    Into the back of my mind

    Pictures painted
    with a thousand words
    Seems to last
    ohh so long

    And I know maybe I didn't cry
    But does that mean
    I didn't love you

    And I know maybe I didn't know you
    But does that mean
    I wont miss you

    Blood on the ground
    These are the roots that bind me
    To these strings
    And with this sound

    The West Virginia
    In your veins
    Only lasts
    In these songs

    Holding tight
    To the ghosts of History
    Knowing one day
    I'll play you this song

    And I know that look in your eye
    Cause that same black line
    was drawn on me too

    And I know your somewhere inside
    And I promise
    I'll find you

    The sun setting
    The cold of silence
    The earth falling
    These are the sounds of good-bye
