Virginia

See the flowers bending in the breeze
Feel the cooling drops of rain
Hear the sounds that set my mind at easy
Virginia won’t leave me again.

Before I came here I lived far away
‘Cross the meadow and the stream
And I never thought I’d see this day
Oh, Virginia’s been my dream.

I’ve seen the Great Plains out in Texas
And I drove the roads to Tennessee
But I’ve never seen a smile like hers
I’m glad Virginia’s here with me.

I’m just a country boy away from home
Longing for a shady lane
On these pavement streams I’m bound to roam
Virginia don’t leave me again
Virginia don’t leave me again
Virginia won’t leave me again.
