Matt Pryor - Virginia lyrics

Read the words They're written for me Close the casket on this story And take one last look around the house The one who told me myths and fables Now just a body on the table Burned and buried in the ground Virginia, tell stories like you do Tell the one about New Jersey How he bought that ring for you Virginia, every year I've been alive This holiday's the first we'll spend at home And I'm sure she doesn't want to be alone Past transgressions are forgiven Room had filled with older women Once marked as weak, now proven strong Take a moment and look around me Kneeling quiet with my family 'Cause one day all this will be gone Virginia, tell stories like you do Tell the one about New Jersey How he bought that ring for you Virginia, every year I've been alive This holiday's the first we'll spend at home And I'm sure she doesn't want to be alone
