VERSE I
virginia, i've seen her driving with the top pulled down
yeah she's just as stylish but her hair's a little longer now
do you think i'm crazy holding on to maybe
put your mind at ease
the old days are behind us virginia's over me

CHORUS
baby my baby's gone away today
my baby's gone miles away
baby my baby's gone away today
my baby's gone miles away

VERSE II
virginia, don't tempt me
there's nothing that you're gonna say
you've got so many lines, so many heartaches
and i would be a fool to stay
you want what you can't get
oh, i never doubt it
put your loving away
save those charms and your open arms
‘cause i don't want to play

BRIDGE
she came back, my baby
came walking through my front door
and she told me with the smallest tear
that she didn't love me no more
so later on i found me another
a flight attendant on a plane
got no money in the pockets and a baby on the way
since virginia took my last name
