Bye, Bye Virginia

Well I had me my share of fairweather friends
But the truth was something I could no longer bend
No not the pills I was taking or the money I had spent
Could bring me back the pleasures of a life I never lived
So I put my hands to the wheel and emptied my pockets
You do what you have to do when you're desperate
I was beat down to a place no man should ever live
So I counted up my blessings and I picked on up my head
Singing bye, bye Virginia
So long my friend
I was tired of living on the edge of heaven and sin
So I let my heart be guided by that Pennsylvania wind
Well I used all my excuses and I told my last story
It's the ones you love the most that get pushed away
I'm sorry my dear friends and my dear family
But I could not see the light with all the darkness in the way
Singing bye, bye Virginia
Will I come to know you again
Well I put my foot to the floor through the hills of Maryland
And I threw my past away with all my sweet desperation
Driving up the highway I took one final look
It's funny how those times are now a chapter in my book
I was singing bye, bye Virginia
So long my friend
I was tired of living on the edge of heaven and sin
And I knew I needed some place new where I could start again
Singing bye, bye Virginia
You were good to me my friend
Crossed the border into Pennsylvania, heading home again
But home is in the heart of me wherever I begin
I said home is in the heart of me wherever I begin
Singing home is in the heart of me wherever I begin
