Lirieke: Chris Merritt. Virginia.

Talking to the old man
says i done screwed up big
tell me what i don't know
tell me how to fix it

and i been down, i got three babies in the phone book
yeah, they're looking good, but it makes no difference
cause i've been there just about twenty-five times and i
seem to recall that there ain't much difference

my mouth is hungry
my chest is empty
i miss Virginia
but do i really?
i remember darkness coming into me there
trouble breathing even in the fresh air

talking to my good friend
don't know how he puts up with
listening to my milksop
and still he stays my good friend

and i lay down, i'm avoiding looking over at the clock
is it 3:00 or 3:15? does it make a difference?

cause i've been there just about twenty-five times and i
seem to recall that there ain't much difference

my mouth is hungry
my chest is empty
i miss Virginia
but do i really?
i remember darkness coming into me there
trouble breathing even in the fresh air

there ain't nobody there
and there ain't nobody here
there ain't nobody there
and there ain't nobody here

talking to the old man
says i done screwed up big

well i look down, and i got no money for a few days
i tried to work alot, but it made no difference
well i been here just about twenty-five years
and i seem to recall that there ain't much difference

ahhh ooo ahhh ooo

my mouth is hungry
my chest is empty
i miss Virginia
but do i really?
i remember darkness coming into me there
trouble breathing even in the fresh air
California ain't no different
California, when you gonna feel like home?
