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
