Lyrics

Come with me and I'll take you away
To a place I knew yesterday
Where wildflowers grow
And peaceful rivers flow
And the blue mounds mingle with the stars
And the memories that make you who you are
Where the mounds of Virginia know my name
And life somehow keeps taking me away
But I go back in my mind
Back to those Nelson County times
Virginia dreams
They always take me back
Virginia dreams
There's no other place like that
No matter where life takes me
Or how far away it seems
I keep holding on to my Virginia dreams
Yeah, I've roamed this whole world over
I've been everywhere
But when you see those blue ridge mountains,
No others can compare
Like the tall trees on a mountainside
My roots are very deep
In the rivers and the valley
Of my Virginia dreams
 Virginia dreams
They always take me back Virginia dreams
 There's no other place like that
No matter where life takes me
 Or how far away it seems
I keep holding on to my Virginia dreams
Yeah, I still hold it sacred
This place that I call home
 Cause I love to ride the back roads
And smell the fresh hay mowed
From the mountains to the ocean
That great Atlantic shore
 They hold everything I dream of
Yeah, I couldn't love it more
Virginia dreams
They always take me back
Virginia dreams
There's no other place like that
No matter where life takes me
Or how far away it seems
I keep holding on to my Virginia dreams
I love to feel the wind blow through the tall pines
And hear the pretty sound of a whippoorwill
 I love to smell the lilac in the springtime Oh,
I still see me running through the field
Virginia dreams
They always take me back
Virginia dreams
There's no other place like that
No matter where life takes me
 Or how far away it seems
I keep holding on to my Virginia dreams
 Yeah, no matter where life takes me
Or how far away it seems
I keep going back
 In my Virginia dreams
