Slept high up in the rockies 
 Set my clock for californ-i-ey-aye 
 And i dreamed up somethin special to give that ocean 
 Man, she cuffs me anyway 
    So i'm banking on virginia 
 To keep me clear and calm and straight 
 Just like clock work seems to tell us 
 With every passing storm there's just a harder hail   
 So light my way, virginia may 
 I can't sit still, just pace across this hallway 
 We spent all this time 
 Just trading crimes, 
 While the tune-smith packed a lunch, 
 He's headed down the coastline   
 There's a loneliness thats blowin 
 Well i heard it from the radio man 
 He's been locked up in the belfry 
 Listening close, to a string upon a can   
 Me, i'm sailin on to that savior, 
 She's a pilgrim living on the modern time 
 And ever since i found her magic 
 Now every car or cloud that passes is a sign   
 Light my way, virginia may 
 I can't sit still just pace across this hallway 
 We spent all this time 
 Just trading crimes   
 And i'm saving all my sleep for another life 
 I'm saving all my sleep for another life.
