The girl from West Virginia read the same book all the time
|
At first I thought perhaps she was unsettled in her mind
|
She'd read it front to back and then she'd read it over again
|
She knew that I knew she knew what happened in the end
|
She would go to work each morning that's the book that she would take
|
She'd read it on her lunch hour and she'd read it on her break
|
Her calm expression never changed from page to page to page
|
She knew that story never changed from day to day to day
|
Some people said it was a book about a love affair
|
That grew and grew throughout the years and never knew a care
|
A book wherein the people love and dreams all turned out right
|
They say she even took the book to bed with her at night
|

|
I recall the tattered pagesand the cover faded out
|
Of a walkin' wind-blown woman by some old majestic house
|
One day I even asked her why she did that and she said
|
Mr Hall this is the best book I have ever read
|
Some people say it was a book about a great romance
|
She picked it up the night she didn't make the high school dance
|
Ain't it strange what life can sometimes do to people's mind
|
Like the girl from West Virginia reads the same book all the time
