Leaving Virginia

Leaving Virginia
by Jason Tomlin, Cason Ogden, Chris Harris


Well I’m leaving Virginia, my mind’s in Carolina
I’m headed for a show in Tennessee
These songs that I’ve been chasing have kept me separated
From a girl out on the coast that’s in my dreams
Damn how I miss her, what I’d give to kiss her
Sometimes I wonder why I’ve got to be
Leaving Virginia when my mind’s in Carolina
And I’m headed for a show in Tennessee

Well I’m leaving Virginia, my mind’s in Carolina
And I’m rolling towards a show in Baltimore
Got my hands upon the wheel, my eyes upon the road, but I left my heart with her there on the shore
My nights are sad and lonely, I’m thinking of her only
And I can’t wait til I’m there at her door
Instead I’m leaving Virginia, my mind’s on Carolina
And I’m rolling towards a show in Baltimore

Well tomorrow’s down in Georgia then it’s off to New Orleans
And we’re out in Arizona a couple days
I know I love the music and the traveling in this band
But they’re keeping me so many miles away
From the angel I left standing in the waves

Now I’m leaving Virginia, just crossed into Carolina
I’m rolling south on highway 17
Got some roses and sweet wine to give to that good girl of mine
Who lives here on the coast and always in my dreams
Damn how I’ve missed her, it feels so good to kiss her
And I’m so glad that I ain’t got to be
Leaving Virginia when my mind’s on Carolina and I’m headed for a show in Tennessee
