For all those who crawl through the sprawl. You know who you are.
Carry me back to North Virginny
The roads are all full so I never shall roam
Might pass the time if I had any - Carry me back to my homeHow fondly I recall that starter mansion
Way back when Ashburn was out on the edge
Four car garage to park six cars in
Salvadorans toiling in the hedge
Had to move out across the state line - To find a little space
Now we drive three hours each morning - To join the old rat raceRepeat Chorus
Once there were trees in North Virginny
But the chain saws all buzzed till I thought I’d go deaf
Maples, and ash, and oaks are so pretty
We still have six of them left
Pardon our dust while we envision - A vibrant downtown scene
I’m going to find that country road - Soon as this damn light turns green!Repeat Chorus
I-66 B4 HOV - 267 to IAD
AOL you so Y2K - LOL VRE
495 to 7-11 - WTOP
MS-13 in SUVs - What’s the BFD?
