Sweet Virginia Rain

Charley Chan and Super Man
John Wayne with a gun in his hand
Helped me grow up knowin' not to cheat
Little girls and ice cream cones
Little boys and puppy dogs and love 
Made my life complete

(Chorus)
So take me back to that small Virginia town
Where I never felt no pain
Let me walk down the pathways of my heart
And let me feel the sweet Virginia rain

Grandma made apple pies Sunday mornin' late sunrise
Then we'd go to church, she taught me how to pray
Then my daddy would put me to bed
Read a story say that's my man
Then I'd be ready for another day

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
And wherever I may roam I will never forget my home
And if I ever feel down I just think of my hometown
In the sweet Virginia rain

Repeat chorus
