I'm leaving Virginia Back to where I belong I can't remember The last time I gone There's blue skies and women And liquor so strong Angels and Devils To carry me on [CHORUS:] So come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight Old worn out feelings And yesterday's news Just give me something That I can use My boots are forgiven The valley's a lie And all these words talking Mean nothing tonight
[CHORUS:] So come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight I left my pillar Out on the road It's a desolate place But you've been there before There's a town by the river It's where I was born And I died on a hillside All tattered and torn [CHORUS:] So come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight So come closer Angeline We'll go in the mornin' We'll be home tonight
