Left virginia for a tennessee dream

On the day that I turned 18

81 through the shenandoah valley

Had me second guess a couple things

Like, should I go, should I stay

Hell, you'd be with me either way.

Sweet virginia, you are always on my mind

Sweet virginia, I go there all the time

Yeah, they say that you're for lovers

And I have to agree

'cause ain't never been another

Ever loved me like sweet virginia.

I've been singing songs

And every single one of them's

Got a line or two about you

Roots run deep as a dogwood tree

You're in everything that I do

Maybe gone, but never far

Home is always where you are.

Sweet virginia, you are always on my mind

Sweet virginia, I go there all the time

Yeah, they say that you're for lovers

And I have to agree

'cause ain't never been another

Ever loved me like sweet virginia.

I miss your summer river

Mountains in the winter

Leavin' you has always been bitter.

Sweet virginia, you're always on my mind

Sweet virginia, I go there all the time

They say that you're for lovers

And I have to agree

'cause ain't never been another

Ever loved me like sweet virginia

Sweet virginia.
