Virginia Lyrics

Virginia lyrics

i know you so well

i could make you from scratch

my precious little puppet 

with no strings attached 

i like the way you dance around 

and sing back to me 

i'll take you back to virginia 

for all my people to see



i just want to play what you want me to 

i just want to say what you want me to 



oh, take me. take me back 

take me back to virginia, 

take me back i want to go back for good 



open a window put the dog at the foot of my bed 

sleep to the music of the ice cream man

and rest my head 

if i wake up on the right side 

i'll sit at my window and play

a song for my people from yesterday 



chorus 



it's been seven years since i've seen you shine 

and i see you when i'm sleeping

and i know i'm not lost as long as my lines are true 

i just want to get back to you 



i can still tell what it really means to be

dancing to the music

as she sings out to me 

smiling and laughing as the people dance my soul 

take me back to virginia 

from so long ago 



chorus
