Lyrics

Sweet Virginia

You were a pretty girl
I think 17 but I couldn?t really tell cause the makeup made you seem
Like you were 18, 19, or 22
You had a smile that glowed
Except for the cloud that hung over your head as you waited for the sound
Of your bus approaching at 15th and Taravel.

I knew from the moment I saw you
Your life had been crumbling down
Cause the frown on your face it showed it all
But before you place your blame
Wont you tell me your name

Just tell me your name

You had your yellow boots
A mighty mean stare
Glistening as the sunlight hit your hair
And the bus came by splashed water on your face
Well you spun around, cursed the sky
With all your might as the bus it rolled on by
As you sat right down, I could see you cry

I knew from the moment I saw you
Your life had been crumbling down
Cause the frown on your face it showed it all
But before you place your blame
Wont you tell me your name
Jump in and tell me your name
Wont you tell me your name
