Virginia

In the lush Virginia hills They kept her as long as they could Cause they knew when the white brother Found white shell beads Wrapped around her skin -- A life giving river -- Her body open as will his hand And with a "goodbye" there she goes She may betray all that she loves And even wait for their savior to come And in some things, maybe he'll be right But as always the thing that he loves He will change from her sunrise to clockwise to soul trading Still she'll lay down her body Covering him all the same So hundreds of years go by (the red road carved up by sharp knife) She's a girl out working her trade And she loses a little each day To ghetto pimps and presidents Who try and arouse her turquoise serpents She can't recall what they represent And when you ask, she won't know She will betray Oh Virginia Do you remember When the land held your hand Oh Virginia She will let you back in Oh Virginia You can't remember your name
