Virginia Highlands

Driving around in our parents' cars

To the same old places we used to walk to

When we lose track of where we are

All the trees are nice to talk to

Sitting around at Murphy's place

Scrambled eggs and silver dollars

Naming bottles off the shelf

Closed my eyes and now I'm taller

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands

Where I get high with my friends

When will I see you again?

Rudy's stoking the fireplace

Pause the TV cause dad is talking

All the love fills up the space

And all the laughing turns to yawning

When my family hits the hay

Futurebirds for the midnight driving

Up to Athens to catch the game

Will it ever be the same?

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands

Where I get high with my friends

When will I see you again?

Oh, I'll find my way to you in time

I won't forget the dogwood smell

I won't forget those old Druid Hills

And I can't seem to wait anymore

Oh, I'm tired of missing home

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands

Where I get high with my friends

When will I see you again?

And sometimes resting my heavy eyelids

I see the street where I lived

A thousand miles away
