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
