Lyrics

Everybody's trying to find pie in the sky eternal life Ponce de Leon must have had it wrong the secret of life is a state of mind Well in a state like this it's easy to miss the timber for the trees But if you stay en route that old fountain of youth Might be anywhere you please There's a spot I know off the beaten road, a town without a name Where the river flows and life just goes on living it's own way Well it might not be for everyone but all are welcome in And you just might find a little peace of mind When you come up around the bend So I'm going sweet Virginia where they cannot follow me Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway doesn't reach Only God knows where I'm going and on this me and her agree It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free But I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee Everybody's just looking for themselves up there on the silver screen Like we're all trying to act like movie stars But we don't know beluga from Boyardee I don't need none of that Virginia when you're lying here next to me So let's cut the lights hell cut the power and get back to the real thing See I'm going sweet Virginia where they cannot follow me Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway never reached Only God knows where I'm going and on this me and her agree It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free But I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee You see I been near damned everywhere from the mountains to the sea And I just found right where I'm bound is where I'm meant to be Everybody better hold on tight cause the trail's just as rough as it seems But no matter I'm going wherever it leads To each his own's what daddy said I still hear it now and then He said you see a lot of faces son but just a few you call a friend So come on sweet Virginia how 'bout we step into the light 'Cause when we get to Nameless I know it's gonna be alright So I'm going sweet Virginia where they cannot follow me Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway never reached Only God knows where I'm going and on this me and her agree It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free But I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee Nameless, Tennessee
