Rescue Me, Virginia Lyrics by The Steel Wheels

Leave Some Things Behind

2015

[Verse 1]
I came from Kansas, where the sky is so big you feel alone
But that prairie gives meaning to the mountains that I call my home
[Verse 2]
The family is mid-west, where the days don't seem as busy as the East
Though there' space to wander, it's the wanderin' never gave me peace
[Chorus]
Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea
Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Oh, rescue me
[Verse 3]
My brother lives in Pittsburgh, he's different in the ways you like to see
Like the rivers of that city, deep at his center he is free
[Verse 4]
Sister writes from Wichita, she's kept herself steady in the wind
Further from the coast, she's always been the most easy kind of friend
[Chorus]
Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea
Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Oh, rescue me
[Bridge]
It makes a difference where you go
It makes a difference where you go
It makes you different where you go
[Verse 5]
I love the West, Colorado is a promise I could keep
She's younger and wild, but those aren't the mountains calling me
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'm not from here, but this is where I want my roots to grow
In all the miles that I've traveled, it's good to finally find myself at home
[Chorus]
Oh, rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Sing the songs from the ancients, wash me in the sea
Rescue me, Virginia, rescue me
Oh, rescue me
