lyrics

she's running off at the mouth again
I swear it's a miracle
she gets away with treason
she gets away with me

she's walking out on the boardwalk
she swears she'll disappear
she's been looking for headlights
they don't shine this time of year

Virginia, Virginia
the summertime's in you
it's where I wanna be
it's where I wanna belong

she says that April brings her down
it's the promise that keeps her sane
February's a ghost town
we just try to stay entertained

Monday night, she wanders in
she wears her wedding gown
she's dancing up on the bar again
so buy another round

Virginia, Virginia
got the summertime in you
it's where I wanna be
it's where I wanna belong

trading in a normal life
for a televised charade
all the normal lies
and a pole position in a fool's parade

Monday night, she wanders in
she wears her wedding gown
she's dancing up on the bar again
so buy another round

Virginia, Virginia
the summertime's in you
it's where I wanna be
it's where I wanna be
it's where I wanna belong
it's where I wanna be
