Well I let down Virginia
When I told her I was bound for leaving
I told her that the city air

Just weren’t worth my breathing
Then I packed my bags and left her
On her own;

Moving sad and slowly
Down the San Antone
And I’m never gonna set foot in her house again…


I never said I’d leave her
But I never said that I would stay

And I don’t mean to deceive her
But she knows it has to be this way
So walk outside and take a ride

And don’t look back
I’ll be far away by Monday baby,
Ill be down the track

And I’m never gonna step foot in her house again…

She says it don’t come easy;

There ain’t no luck for free
But there’s nothing left around here
But a pale blue Monday morning me


I’m getting on my knees lord
Hoping just to speak with you

I’m getting on my knees lord
I know that Virginia is too
Oh but I’d never thought I’d feel this bad

About the past
Hearts and souls were never
Ever built to last

And I’m never gonna step foot in her house again…

I’m sitting at the station

Hanging my head down low
Don’t want no confrontations
But I don’t know which way to go

And I wish to God I’d see her face just
One more time
But I got to be moving on and on the line


And I’m never gonna step foot in her house again...
