"Virginia Highlands" lyrics

Driving around in our parents' cars
To the same old places we used to walk to
When we lose track of where we are
All the trees are nice to talk to

Sitting around at Murphy's place
Scrambled eggs and silver dollars
Naming bottles off the shelf
Closed my eyes and now I'm taller

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands
Where I get high with my friends
When will I see you again?

Rudy's stoking the fireplace
Pause the TV cause dad is talking
All the love fills up the space
And all the laughing turns to yawning

When my family hits the hay
Futurebirds for the midnight driving
Up to Athens to catch the game
Will it ever be the same?

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands
Where I get high with my friends
When will I see you again?
Oh, I'll find my way to you in time

I won't forget the dogwood smell
I won't forget those old Druid Hills
And I can't seem to wait anymore
Oh, I'm tired of missing home

Oh, won't you take me back to Virginia Highlands
Where I get high with my friends
When will I see you again?

And sometimes resting my heavy eyelids
I see the street where I lived
A thousand miles away
