Bruce Robison - Virgina
G
You said you'd go just for a year and I watched the taillights disappear
Am G
Your words like old footprints upon my mind
G
Yeah your family all was gone, but you couldn't imagine leavin' long
Am G
I said you only get your life for this one time
C
But what do I recall when the world is all but changin'
D
In the mirror while I'm standin' like an old stop sign
Have courage, said the man, when you see your whole life turnin' out
Nothin' like you'd ever seen or planned
He said there's always another day, and anyhow that's the only way
It's better just to learn that while you can
Well would she stay or would she go, with a girl like that you never know
What's goin' on in her heart is hard to define
CHORUS:
F
But I'm inclined to say
C G D G
Virginia guess you made up your mind
Well you taught me how to dance and what it is to take a chance
There's learnin' and there's doin', it's not the same
Yeah I held you when you cried on the mornin' that your daddy died
If you're livin', you hurt, there's no one to blame
Yeah and hell I do alright, but there's times that I can't sleep at night
And I think about things I didn't know would stay with me all this time
CHORUS
G Am G Am G
Yeah years go by and you don't come home at all
Or write or call or tell me what you did or didn't find
Yeah the young girl that I married and the babies that she cared
Are the stars that my whole world turns around
And I guess she's just like me, and she didn't care too much to see
What life was like outside our little town
Yeah mornin's, there are some, where I wonder if I've chosen
Anything that I've ever done before in my whole life
F
But that's all behind me now
C G
Virginia guess you made up
F
I'm inclined to say
C G
Virginia guess you made up
F
I don't mind to see
C G D G
Virginia guess you made up your mind
