Drag Me Back to Ol' Virginia (Single Version) Lyrics

Drag me back to Old Virginia where the past won't let you be

Where the ghosts of old plantations whisper sweet hypocrisy

Oh the land of grand delusions built on backs that toiled in chains

Let me wallow in the grandeur feel the shackles and the pain

Carry me back oh carry me back

To the place where dreams decay

To the land of lost illusions

Where the sun has gone away

Take me to those fields of cotton where the memories linger on

In the shadows of the manor where the master's long since gone

Oh the charm of Southern comfort dripping with its hidden lies

Take me back to Old Virginia where the past is still alive

Carry me back oh carry me back

To the place where dreams decay

To the land of lost illusions

Where the sun has gone away

Oh the songs of Dixie calling like a siren's sweet deceit

Lure me back to Old Virginia where history's incomplete

Let me bask in all its glory of a time that never was

Feel the weight of old Virginia where truth is just because

Carry me back oh carry me back

To the place where dreams decay

To the land of lost illusions

Where the sun has gone away

Oh Virginia how I loathe thee with your myths and tarnished gold

In the heart of Old Virginia where the stories all grow cold

Carry me back oh carry me back

To the lies that never age

In the land of Old Virginia

Trapped forever in a cage
