She said, “I think I found my calling in Virginia
And if you'll wait for me in Nashville,
I'll be back again real soon.”
But, something strange was in the air
'Cause when my baby got up there
That very moment, every plan we made
Together all fell through
And, when her new friends at the job
Found something funny, how she'd laugh
And, when they went out every weekend
She'd drop everything for that
And she forgot about her lover
When there were others at her door
I guess Virginia's not for lovers anymore
No, Virginia's not for lovers anymore
I said, “I just need five short minutes every evening.
I know you're busy with your new life,
And I'd hate to interfere”
And all the sudden, that small task
Became an awful lot to ask
So, if you can't make me priority
Then, what comes next is clear
And when my old friends heard the story
They assured me I was right
'Cause any self-respecting love
Would wanna tell her man goodnight
But instead, you'd think I smothered her
And covered every pore
Looks like Virginia's not for lovers anymore
No, Virginia's not for lovers anymore
And I'd pretend I was okay
If I knew she was still in love
And we'd resume our future fantasies
When life up there was done
And even though I really loved her,
There's a truer love in store
Because Virginia's not for lovers anymore
No, Virginia's not for lovers anymore
