Crying on the way to my best friends wedding
Playing her first dance, 'Still the One'
Lost in the direction I'm heading 
Haven't been here since you've been gone

Take me back to Virginia 
Where the mountains have a piece of my soul
Take me back to Virginia
Where there's still hope I can be whole

The wrong man will take you hostage 
And the right one will set you free 
I don't know if we ever had it 
As the road goes on the clearer I see

Take me back to Virginia 
Where the mountains have a piece of my soul
Take me back to Virginia
Where there's still hope I can be whole

And I know time heals all, but I hate this part
Get me back to Appalachia with my people and my guitar  

Take me back to Virginia 
Where the mountains have a piece of my soul
Take me back to Virginia
Where there's still hope I can be whole

Take me back to Virginia 
Where the mountains have a piece of my soul
Take me back to Virginia
Where there's still hope I can be whole
