Adam Yokum - don't take her home Lyrics

Did John Denver put it in her head
Was it something that he said
I'd move mountains for this girl
She want mountain tops instead
God I need some more time
Could you kick it down a turnpike
Wear them tires down until they don't turn right

Don't take her home
Down those country roads
She's my mountain mama
Wild as she wanna
She's everything I want and more
So don't take her home

She's my rhododendron
And I'm growing closer to her by the minute
I love her spirit the same when im with ya
But she can't love me like she loves West Virginia
She'd trade these lights, for stars in the sky
She would trade this wine, for jars of moonshine
She would go to the pines, and run like a child
And leave any thought of my loving behind but

Before that door shuts
And she heads for the Big Sandy River
God could you give her just one good reason to stay

Don't take her home
Down those country roads
She's my mountain mama
Wild as she wanna
She's everything I want and more
So don't take her home

There's beauty inside of these hills ya know
Does something for the soul
And Lord I feel it right now
Cause i'm closer to heaven than I am to the ground
And she's my mountain momma
Cant hold her back when the mountains are calling
West Virginia leaves sure look good in the Autumn
Guess I can't blame her for leaving me oh but

Before that door shuts
And she heads for the Big Sandy River
God could you give her just one good reason to stay

Don't take her home
Down those country roads
She's my mountain mama
Wild as she wanna
She's everything I want and more
So don't take her home
Don't take her home
Down those country roads
She's my mountain mama
Wild as she wanna
She's everything I want and more
So don't take her home
