 A                     F           G              A
   All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart

   Waiting there with open arms   there's Melissa full of charm

 A                     G
   At the Patton Hotel,  I spent lots of time there
 A                         F                G
   That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be
 A                             G
   & down the road on Jefferson  you'll find Steamer's close by
 A                               F               G
   If you see Mark & Steve Breen tell 'em Jeff & I both said hi

D                         D4
 But we were younger then,  never knowing then
D                          F                 C
 That she would take us as her own & make us part of her life
D                   D4
 Highway to the sun,  we had so much fun
D                          F               E             (A)
 I can't wait to get there tell 'em that I miss my second home

        A     G     D     D4    A     G     F     G
        Oh Virginia

        Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time
        Oh Virginia just a ride down 64
