Sweet Virginia
Oh sweet Virginia, though I've never known
Your trees and fields, they all start telling me of home
Oh gentle transport, on my journeys way
I'd tell the truth to her if I knew what I should say
North Carolina welcomes me
Warm-weathered smiles and familiar food to eat
Oh happy refuge from 80 miles per hour
I'd tell her clearly but it's not yet in my power
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
South Carolina, tell me what to say
It's February but you kiss me like it's May
Tell easy stories of my college friends
I need your life to breathe into my soul again
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
Oh early moonrise, don't come up so fast
Don't leave me driving to a place I cannot last
Oh brief reunion, whispered words of peace
Follow me northward, tuck me in to sleep
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
Your trees and fields, they all start telling me of home
Oh gentle transport, on my journeys way
I'd tell the truth to her if I knew what I should say
North Carolina welcomes me
Warm-weathered smiles and familiar food to eat
Oh happy refuge from 80 miles per hour
I'd tell her clearly but it's not yet in my power
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
South Carolina, tell me what to say
It's February but you kiss me like it's May
Tell easy stories of my college friends
I need your life to breathe into my soul again
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
Oh early moonrise, don't come up so fast
Don't leave me driving to a place I cannot last
Oh brief reunion, whispered words of peace
Follow me northward, tuck me in to sleep
Oh quiet cabin, hurling me through space
Give me a moment to begin to see my place
I need your landscapes for my rural mind
Give me a respite, give me some time
