[01:13.02] [01:17.89]O but even though you missed the warning [01:20.83] [01:21.89]There’s a mercy born on every morning [01:24.52] [01:26.45]O Virginia [01:27.14] [01:36.83]You been on the road too long [01:38.83] [01:47.20]You learned the grinding [01:48.21] [01:53.45]Yeah but you forgot the song [01:55.27] [02:05.20]In your memory it’s the angels falling [02:06.96] [02:07.83]And the men all calling you [02:09.83] [02:15.45]And when you answer at the door, you’re there [02:18.14] [02:21.14]Ready to share [02:21.83] [02:24.52]But O Virginia, there’s nothing left [02:29.89] [02:36.96]In the war between the blame and pity [02:39.64] [02:41.39]Your words were smooth, but your teeth were gritty, girl [02:45.08] [02:49.77]Cause you wouldn’t lay down your defenses, [02:52.33] [02:54.08]And admit the way you killed your senses [02:56.39] [03:01.46]When everything was going hazy [03:02.46] [03:03.02]You did not believe that this is crazy now [03:03.77]And, Virginia, though you missed the warning [03:04.02]The angels wept and prayed for mourning [03:04.83]O Virginia [03:05.33]That young sweet and tender girl
