Welcome to Virginia (single)

Welcome to Virginia the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers how come my heart is broken
I’m leaving now and headed far away

Driving through the mountains down highway 29
Singing a sad song and boys I know a few
If you’ve never left Lynchburg in the pouring rain alone
I guess you’ve never hurt the way I do

Welcome to Virginia the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers how come my heart is broken
I’m leaving now and headed far away

She called me on a Tuesday in the month of June
Said that she’d be waiting so I hurried right away
Quit my job and packed a suitcase with everything I owned
I couldn’t wait to go and change her name

I pulled into Lynchburg Wednesday afternoon
Came to 4th & Oakley Avenue
In the door I saw them standing with matching golden rings
In that moment I knew our love was through

Welcome to Virginia the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers how come my heart is broken
I’m leaving now and headed far away
