Welcome to Virginia, the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers, how come my heart is broken?
I’m leaving now and headed far away
Driving through the mountains, down highway 29
Singing a sad song, and boys I know a few
If you’ve never left Lynchburg in the pouring rain alone
I guess you’ve never hurt the way I do
Welcome to Virginia, the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers, how come my heart is broken?
I’m leaving now and headed far away
She called me on a Tuesday, in the month of June
Said that she’d be waiting, so I hurried right away
Quit my job and packed a suitcase with everything I owned
I couldn’t wait to go and change her name
I pulled in to Lynchburg, Wednesday afternoon
Came to 4th & Oakley avenue
In the door I saw them standing with matching golden rings
In that moment I knew our love was through
Welcome to Virginia, the road sign said
But I don’t feel so welcome today
If Virginia is for lovers, how come my heart is broken?
I’m leaving now and headed far away
