Virginia's Not for Lovers Anymore

She said "I think I've 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 5 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'd smothered Her

And covered every pore;

Looks like Virginia's not for lovers anymore

No, Virginia's not for lovers anymore

Mmmm, 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

No, Virginia's not for lovers anymore
