I was waiting for the sun to rise
when I saw her by the sea
standing still in the morning light
with a smile she set me free
she wrote her name in the sand
and then she said to me
somewhere there's someone who will need you
somewhere there's someone who believes
I knew right then and there I'd never be the same
now I'm driving down this back road in the rain
to Virginia
back to Virginia
Sweet Virginia
back to Virginia
The years gone by have left some scars
and the miles kept us apart
I've wished on countless falling stars
that she's kept me in her heart
her words still flow like poetry
I hear them in my dreams
somewhere there's someone who will need you
somewhere there's someone who believes
I've known it since that day I watched her write her name
now I'm driving down this back road in the rain
to Virginia
back to Virginia
Sweet Virginia
back to Virginia
somewhere there's someone who will need you
somewhere there's someone who believes
I knew right then and there I'd never be the same
now I'm driving down this back road in the rain
to Virginia
back to Virginia
Sweet Virginia
back to Virginia
