It's cold in Virginia By the hand of God my legs don't know no sleep

I keep hearing mothers shriek shouting inside my dreams I can't escape their plea

Am I powerful? Or am I full of shame? All my fantasies, nightmares I can't shake

How high can I get in a rampage? You can't save them if you watch from a sandbank

And now it's run or die, 200,000 miles legging, getting out of Dodge

Maybe I'm next, maybe I can, okay, well what if not? Highway to hell, I'm headed south, bound at 85

So downstream I go, under the toe, rise up my soul, will I don't know

Cause it's cold in Virginia By the hand of God my legs don't know no sleep

I keep hearing mothers shriek shouting inside my dreams I can't escape their plea

So I can't, can't go back, I can't, can't go back

So I can't, can't go back, I can't, can't go back

There's blood in the water

Motion picture, why I've not been home

Felt those highs and lows, don't know how I'll cope

So undecided, facing the feeling I'm trying

Same color as the pill you're biting

Something's clearly wrong

Whatever outcome, I'll still overcome

The war's never won, it's only just begun

I am rising in triumph, vow

Cause it's cold in Virginia

By the hand of God, my legs don't know no sleep

Keep hearing mothers shriek, shouting inside my dreams

I can't escape their plea

So I can't, can't go back, I can't, can't go back

So I can't, can't go back, I can't, can't go back

We got one chance at life

Why not take some, take some risk

We got one chance at life

Why not take some, take some risk

We got one chance at life

Why not take some, take some risk
