West Virginia from Heavy Lifting by Loose Cattle

WEST VIRGINIA
Judith Avers

Saw her on the street
Hair down, bags at her feet
Twenty years of mopping up the messes
Have left with her with
Callouses and stains on all her dresses and
No one noticed

And she said I’m Vegas baby turn me off
I’m New York City and I can’t keep up
I’ve done all I can do
Put up a good fight
I wanna be West Virginia tonight

She brushed back her hair
Blind eyes and a smile barely there
All the years of waiting around for something
Have left her
Debating nothing no longer wondering why
No one noticed

And she said I’m Vegas baby turn me off
I’m New York City and I can’t keep up
I’ve done all I can do
Put up a good fight
I wanna be West Virginia tonight
