Rescue Me, Virginia

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
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
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
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
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
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
It makes a difference where you go
It makes a difference where you go
It makes you different where you go
I love the West, Colorado is a promise I could keep
She’s younger and wild, but those aren’t the mountains calling me
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
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
