Lyrics to Virginia



VERSE I

virginia, i’ve seen her driving with the top pulled down

yeah she’s just as stylish but her hair’s a little longer now

do you think i’m crazy holding on to maybe

put your mind at ease

the old days are behind us virginia’s over me



CHORUS

baby my baby’s gone away today

my baby’s gone miles away

baby my baby’s gone away today

my baby’s gone miles away



VERSE II

virginia, don’t tempt me

there’s nothing that you’re gonna say

you’ve got so many lines, so many heartaches

and i would be a fool to stay

you want what you can’t get

oh, i never doubt it

put your loving away

save those charms and your open arms

‘cause i don’t want to play



BRIDGE

she came back, my baby

came walking through my front door

and she told me with the smallest tear

that she didn’t love me no more

so later on i found me another

a flight attendant on a plane

got no money in the pockets and a baby on the way

since virginia took my last name
