VIRGINIA
I walked right up to you
Said how do you do
You said what took you so long boy
Don’t you know I been waiting on you
I knew I had to have you
Since I first laid eyes on you
I knew I had to have you
I knew I had to have you
From the start
Oh, Virginia
You put your name on my heart
I put my lips to you
You slapped one right back on me
Said come a little bit closer boy
I got somethin’ I want you to see
Why waste our precious time
With formality
Once I got to know you
I knew we would throw down
What you got to show me
Yo
I think I’ll stick around
Things been gettin’ so hot
We might ignite this town

ANNA PLEASE
I said the wrong thing
Again
She picked up and left me there
Head in my hand
Anna does what Anna please
And that’s alright with me
She floats in like a butterfly
Then she’s gone again
Don’t ask her where she’s goin’
Ain’t no tellin’ where she’s been
Anna does what Anna please
And that’s alright with me
Anna does Anna please
When she makes up her mind
There’s no changin’ it back
Let the girl go
I said the wrong thing
Again
Still I’m glad for what we had
When we did
She’s just doing her own thing

EMILY
She was only seventeen
Lips so fine hips so mean
I looked at her she looked at me
Said her name was Emily
Man, let me tell you, the girl is alright
Emily
The fire was so hot
The flame was so high
Took a look at her thought I’d die
Another boy owned her company
But I didn’t let that bother me
Man, let me tell you, the girl is alright
Emily
She got beauty
She got grace
She got a sweet young face
And everything
Everything
In the right place
Emily

JENNY LYNN
She came to me in a dream last night
Then she shot out the lights
I held my breath
To see what would happen next and then
Jenny Lynn
Sometimes you know in an instant
A lifetime in the making
And I’m so tired of waiting
For our life to begin
Jenny Lynn
You’re gonna have to trust somebody sometime
So put your little hand in mine
Lay your head on my shoulder
And just give in
Jenny Lynn
Don’t ask me how I know
We can take it slow
I got faith enough
For the two of us
So open up your heart
And let me in
Jenny Lynn
She came to me in a dream last night
Angel eyes and hair pulled back tight
She said needed a friend
Count me in
Jenny Lynn
You’re gonna have to trust somebody sometime
Christmas day or Valentine’s
So say you’ll be mine
Till the end
Jenny Lynn
