Driving to Virginia is about separation, but also about freedom, that's why the song grows and builds up emotion as it goes. All while looking at Virginia's beauty which explotes in the fall.
lyrics
Verse 1:
I walked into your doorway,
My clothes were placed before me,
In bags of broken plastic,
With a message, oh so tragic.
Chorus:
That's when you let me know
Verse 2:
You said I've been unfaithful,
It didn't sound so graceful,
You told me to go back to her,
So, to Virginia, I'll be after.
Chorus:
That's when you let me go.
I'm Driving to Virginia
Mambo 1:
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Oh, to Virginia I'll be after tonight.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Oh, that very moment where you let me know, that's where I knew.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Oh, I'm driving to Virginia tonight.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
That's when you let me know, that's when you let me know,
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Oh, to Virginia, I'll be after.
Mambo 2:
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
I'm driving my car, going south, to Virginia I'll be after tonight.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
You put my clothes in a plastic broken bag, down in a hallway
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Baby, you gotta let me let me know, you gotta let me go,
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
I'm driving my car, going south, to Virginia.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back,
Oh baby, let me go, 'cause I let you go.
Ain't no coming back, baby now, ain't no coming back!
