| It’s been a year since i’ve seen virginia
|
| been a year now on my own
|
| lord how i miss virginia
|
| i feel an ache down in my bones
|
| guess i never really understood
|
| what i had till it was gone for good
|
| I smell the sweet perfume of virginia
|
| country comfort in a calico dress
|
| she was always so together
|
| i was always such a mess
|
| she gave me shelter, gave me wine
|
| i can’t remember a better time
|
| I’m headed back to virginia
|
| i’m headed back home to stay
|
| i’ll leave first thing in the mornin'
|
| see there’s somethin' i got to do today
|
| I didn’t mean to pull the trigger
|
| i watched our lives slip through my hands
|
| i just couldn’t stand to see you
|
| in the arms of another man
|
| It’s been a year since i’ve seen virginia
|
| or anything but these four walls
|
| i’ve got a date to keep my darling
|
| unless the governor calls
|
| i know that someday we’ll be together again
|
| i don’t know how and i don’t know when
|
| I’m headed back to virginia
|
| i’m headed back home to stay
|
| i’ll leave first thing in the mornin'
|
| see there’s somethin' i got to do today |
