Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where    All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart    Waiting there with open arms    There's Melissa full of charm    How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in       Oh Virginia down the higway to 64    East way to Newport News    There you'll find an open door in    Oh Virginia all my friends are there to greet me    Just a smile down 64 along the open road       At the Patton Hotel I spent lots of time there    That's where we decided this is where we wanted to be    And down the road on Jefferson you'll find Steamer's close by    If you see Mark and Steve Breen    Tell 'em Jeff and I both said "hi"       But we were younger then never knowing then    That she would take us as her own    And make us part of her life    Highway to the sun we had so much fun    I can't wait to get there and tell 'em that I miss my second home       Oh Virginia down the way we'll be there in no time    Oh Virginia just a ride down 64    Oh Virginia I can see those signs from here    Oh Virginia 25 miles to Hampton Roads       We got friends in Yorktown we got friends in Williamsburg    We got friends in Newport News    We want all of y'all from Portsmouth sing    We got friends in Bluefield we got friends in Richmond    We got friends in Hampton Roads    And down by the beach let me hear everybody, yeah
