This is kind of a I guess a story song
About it's also kind of a love song.
I don't write a whole lot of love songs really too much
But uh, I don't really know it's just about this guy actually thinking back when he was younger about a woman named, Virginia
You kind of don't really I guess figure that out until the last verse when he uh, what he talks about all that was back before 1975
