Virginia, No One Can Warn You
With your eyes made up and your dress see through,
With your heart so big it don't know what to do.
You're my favorite thing my sweet cavalier,
You have saved my life; I got to leave you here.
[Chorus]
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you.
Oh Virginia, I have tried to.
When the winter comes, how the cold moves through,
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you.
I cannot explain how you should begin.
I can't give you word, it won't all cave in.
There's no good way home, there's no place to rest,
There's no room down here for a pretty mess.
[Chorus]
You don't know it yet with your brand new kiss,
You don't want to stay here and live like this.
The worst I could do, oh, what would I be,
If I kept for mine something better than me.
[Chorus]
