Lyrics
Way back in '75
Packed my bags, never making a plan
Left my wife and my kids and land
So the story goes
I traveled a million miles
Ran away from the mess that I'd caused
Forget the family that I had lost
So the story goes
Oh sweet Virginia
I can almost hear you calling for me
Oh dear Virginia
I can almost feel you comforting this lonely old soul
Who's lost and alone
Virginia I was wrong
Virginia bring me home
I numb myself to sleep
Drink away all the damage I've done
Finally found nowhere else to run
So the story goes
Oh sweet Virginia
In my mind I make my way back to my hometown, Virginia
Where the running rivers wash away my sin and my pain
To start life again
Virginia I was wrong
Virginia bring me home
Now sweet Virginia
I can almost hear you calling for me
Oh dear Virginia
I can almost feel you comforting this lonely old soul
Who's lost and alone
Virginia I was wrong
Virginia bring me home
Way back in '75
Packed my bags, never making a plan
Left my wife and my kids and land
Oh the story goes
