Sweet Virginia

Jameson Elder

Lyrics

Well she's got the prettiest eyes I think I've ever seen
She was a wild­haired child that always ran ahead of me
I tried my best to keep up, but I kept tripping on my feet
And she never looked back, never stopped for a minute, chasing all her dreams

Well the years go by, I guess the fire died
Or someone clipped her wings

Sweet Virginia
Where did you go wrong?
Oh when'd you quit believin' in living life like a song

Well if I take a step back I guess time's been mostly good to me
Yeah, it took me a while to finally find my melody
But life has slowed you down and left you chasing memories
You shoulda never looked back, never stopped for a minute, running down your dreams

So won't you tell me why the fire died
Tell me who clipped your wings

Sweet Virginia
Where did you go wrong?
Oh when'd  you quit believin' in living life like a song

Well there ain't no shame in falling if you get back up
Babe I think you've held this sadness in you long enough
Let's get you on your feet dear
So you can run away with me

Sweet Virginia
Where did you go wrong?
Oh when'd you quit believin' in living life like a song
