Virginia

Way back in '75
 Packed my bags, never making a plan
 Left my wife and my kids and land
 So the story goes
 I traveled a million miles
 Ran away from the mess that I'd caused
 Forget the family that I had lost
 So the story goes
 Oh sweet Virginia
 I can almost hear you calling for me
 Oh dear Virginia
 I can almost feel you comforting this lonely old soul
 Who's lost and alone
 Virginia I was wrong
 Virginia bring me home
 I numb myself to sleep
 Drink away all the damage I've done
 Finally found nowhere else to run
 So the story goes
 Oh sweet Virginia
 In my mind I make my way back to my hometown, Virginia
 Where the running rivers wash away my sin and my pain
 To start life again
 Virginia I was wrong
 Virginia bring me home
 Now sweet Virginia
 I can almost hear you calling for me
 Oh dear Virginia
 I can almost feel you comforting this lonely old soul
 Who's lost and alone
 Virginia I was wrong
 Virginia bring me home
 Way back in '75
 Packed my bags, never making a plan
 Left my wife and my kids and land
 Oh the story goes
