Little barefoot girl in ponytails
With butterflies to catch and flowers to smell
Took a ride along the Pocahontas Trail
Near my southern Virginia home
Where talk is slow and the mountains are tall
The cool Clinch River runs through it all
Where there's dandelion fields and clear waterfalls
That's where I belong
Southwestern Virginia
Where the air is full of bluegrass mountain songs
Southwestern Virginia
Let the heart of Appalachia call you home
You can smell country cooking in the air
From Carter Fold to Market Square
Peaceful winding roads will get you there
Like a time that's long gone
People round here are slow to change
With Jesus in their hearts and coal in their veins
From High Knob you hear that distant train
Calling you home
Southwestern Virginia
Where the air is full of bluegrass mountain songs
Southwestern Virginia
Let the heart of Appalachia call you home
Southwestern Virginia
Where the air is full of bluegrass mountain songs
Southwestern Virginia
Let the heart of Appalachia, let the heart of Appalachia,
Let the heart of Appalachia call you home
