Hey Virginia
Hey Virginia, I'm coming back soon
To visit my family
Miss your mountains and Chesapeake moon
But hearing things that worry me
Smell sweet honeysuckle growing wild
Dogwoods swaying in the wind
But the changes since I was a child
Are hard for me to comprehend
Chorus
Yeah, used to be home
Closest thing to Heaven I'd ever known
But different kind of seeds are being sown
Still a treasure but something's wrong
Built on a dream of being free
Willing to fight and die
Comparing now to what used to be
Makes this old Virginian cry
Sad at tradition being stripped away
Statues falling in the square
Angry narrow minds move in each day
Bringing their poison there
Chorus- Solo
Bridge
It's hallowed ground, basted with Southern soul,
Founded by men of vision, brave and wise
A Land that put her people in control
No King to tell 'em how to live their lives
Chorus
