everytime i drive up 29
i see that old man standin' in the grass
wavin' to everyone who goes on by
being friendly to everyone who goes on past
sunsets remind me of what heaven would look like
who painted this Virginia sky
purple, orange, red and yellow
god is the colors when you open your eyes
ooh, i do love Virginia
nothin' will ever change my mind
ooh, i do love Virginia
i will never leave this place behind
i will never leave this place behind
everytime I think life is passin' me by
i see that old man standing in the grass
with nothing but the day, the sun and the light
and the joy of livin' right here in the past
far as i see, the south speaks and i listen
old as time and new as the dawn
song of the peepers and the whippoorwill calling
the times may be changin' but the spirit lives on
ooh, i do love Virginia
nothin will ever change my mind
ooh, i do love Virginia
i will never leave this place behind
i will never leave this place behind
