I wish I didn’t know
Where you really go
I pretend you left a note
Lipstick and perfume makes it glow
You said it was the first time
Let it be the last
I know nothing is forever
Just didn’t think it’d end so fast
And I thought maybe West Virginia
Would be our promise land
Cross the Ohio into Canaan
But nothing ever goes to plan
Now I’m sitting by the phone
Whisky burnin’ on my tongue
One more drink and you’ll be gone
I guess this means we’re moving on
Moving on until the next time
Always living for the past
Maybe everything’s forever
We live the roles we’ve been cast
And I thought maybe West Virginia
Could be our promise land
Cross the Ohio into Canaan
But nothing ever goes to plan
The promise was broken
On the day it was made
By the glimmer of hope that
We might really change
Thought maybe a fresh start
Would let us be remade
But then we got to the mountains and it was
All the same
Just the same as it was last time
Always begging for a king
Tell me it would make a difference
And I’d give you a ring
Then maybe West Virginia
Would be the promise land
Cross the Ohio into Canaan
Pretend to change as if we can
