Saw an eagle today, you know I can’t stay
I’m gonna go where the mountains call my name
Where my Momma grew up and my Daddy can’t find me
Alone, where the mountains call my name
Carolina, Tennessee
West Virginia calling me
I will find you in the pines
in the forest of my mind
I’m leaving today, I’m on my way
I’m gonna fly where the eagle calls my name
Where I first fell in love ‘neath the white willow tree
Gonna cry where the eagle calls my name
Carolina, Tennessee
West Virginia calling me
I will find you in the pines
in the forest of my mind
And I know that life ain’t easy
It’s just a dream
So I go where you baptized me
in the stream
Carolina, Tennessee
West Virginia calling me
I will find you in the pines
in the forest of my mind
Carolina, Tennessee
West Virginia calling me
I will find you in the pines
in the forest of my mind
Carolina, Tennessee
West Virginia calling me
You will dance close with me
in the forest of my mind
