Rescue Me, Virginia

I came from Kansas, where the sky is so big you feel alone

But that prairie gives meaning to the mountains that I call my home

The family is mid-west, where the days don't seem as busy as the East

Though there' space to wander, it's the wanderin' never gave me peace

Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea

Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Oh, rescue me

My brother lives in Pittsburgh, he's different in the ways you like to see

Like the rivers of that city, deep at his center he is free

Sister writes from Wichita, she's kept herself steady in the wind

Further from the coast, she's always been the most easy kind of friend

Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea

Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Oh, rescue me

It makes a difference where you go

It makes a difference where you go

It makes you different where you go

I love the West, Colorado is a promise I could keep

She's younger and wild, but those aren't the mountains calling me

Oh, I'm not from here, but this is where I want my roots to grow

In all the miles that I've traveled, it's good to finally find myself at home

Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea

Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me

Oh, rescue me
