I got sent off from my home
In virginia town
In virginia town
I'm stuck out here on my own
Feeling down
Feeling down

Blue ridge on the east side
To protect me from the rain
Appalachian's loving arms
To welcome me again
And in between their rolling hills
The virginia way
The virginia way

This is where granddaddy sat
In a big straw hat
And a cigarette
This is where his daddy sat
In a big straw hat
And a cigarette

Blue ridge on the east side
To protect them from the rain
Appalachian's loving arms
From georgia up to maine
And in between their rolling hills
The virginia way
The virginia way

I feel my family in my bones
And virginia town
In virginia town
I don't know how i'm coming home
But we'll have fun
When my work is done
We'll have fun
When the work is done
