lyrics

Take me back now to my east Virginia home
Tidewater where my mama once was raised
Where the waves crash on the beach
Past where the brackish waters reach
Back to the mornings looking out over the Bay

Take me back up nice easy now my friend
Follow the river where she turns and where she bends
Like the highways and the byways
And the roads that take ya sideways
Wontcha bring me back to Richmond once again

Take me back now to my east Virginia home
Shenandoah ever calls my earthly name
My daddy wandered in those hills
Perhaps his spirit wanders still
Lord knows we all do till each of us till ya call our name

Take me back now to my east Virginia home
To the wildflower fields of early May
When the green explodes the ground
And the evening breeze is found
Till the sun dries up the dew to start the day

Well I told her that I loved her right when we met
And the way she spoke I never could forget
Bringing life into my bones she said boy let the waters roll
And when she headed for the plane she said adios

Take me back now to my east Virginia home
Take me back now and just leave me there to stay
From Winchester down to Bristol
From Manassas down to Richmond
You can just set me there and leave me there to stay
From Winchester down to Bristol
From Norfolk back to Richmond
You can set me there and leave me there to stay
