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
