Lyrics
Well they chased her
Down the ally
And over the hill
To steal her will
She was hot as
Georgia asphalt
When the A-crowd came
To adore her brains
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
You should've seen her
Back in the city
Poetry and jewels
Broke all the rules
She was high as
The Georgia pine tree
Makeup and pills
Overdue bills
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Some sunny day when the hands of time have had their way
You'll understand why it was so hard to runaway
She's a loser
She's a forgiver
And she still finds good
Where no one could
You oughta want her
More than money
Cadillacs and rust
Diamonds and dust
So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
Yeah, leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
