about

Autobiographical, geography of my married life with my high school sweetheart

lyrics

I've known you since you were 14 years old, steaming windows and walking thru halls
We were kids, not a care in the world, Juneau, Alaska, a boy and a girl
California, with kids of our own, on to Florida to make a new home
Massachusetts back at the Cape, summers in Wisconsin in a house by a lake
Back to Alaska, Kodiak, for home to the kids that's the one
Alabama, not so much under hot and sticky sun
All these places we've been together growing up in love
Now Virginia, they say it's for lovers and we got a real good one
Virginia! It's for lovers, it's for lovers, yes it is, it is
Virginia! It's for lovers, and I do, I do, I do love you I do
