The Virginian

[Verse 1]

When I was young, I knew a girl

Who wouldn't love God as a test

Or gamble with her happiness and so led astray

So she did turn, her father would say

"You're only a guest of the master"

But passion was her Sunday best and she fell away

[Chorus]

She fell away, she fell away

She fell away from the side of the lord

And she was free to do what she wanted with clouds of her own

Na na na na

[Verse 2]

When she grew up, she fell in love

She thought it was all that she wanted

She knew how it felt to be haunted and he ran away

Picked herself up and said through her tears

"Don't waste anymore of your time

You'll spend it all standing in line and they'll turn you away"

[Chorus]

She fell away, she fell away

She fell away from the side of the lord

And she was free to do what she wanted with clouds of her own

Na na na na

[Bridge]

Hope in superstition and your heart's permission

'Cause you're good enough, good enough

Good enough to make it alone

[Verse 3]

Then when she died, she didn't ask God

To take her back into his graces

She'd taken on too many shapes and too many were strange

And as they lay her into the ground

Her spirits, they all flew all away

The sun shone so bright on that day, you thought it was spring

[Chorus]

She fell away, she fell away

She fell away from the side of the lord

And she was free to do what she wanted with clouds of her own

Na na na na
