Carry Me Back to the Beautiful
words & music by Suzanne McDermott
Carry Me Back to the Beautiful
To the place where lovers meet
Where the ghosts of our beginnings
Linger over every street
Red clay and wild horses
Mountains, farms, rivers and sea
Where would you rather be than
In Virginia?
Carry Me Back
to the Beautiful
Carry Me Back
to the Beautiful
Carry me back to a place in time
Carry me back for peace of mind
Where the spirit is set free
Through the landscape and history
Nowhere I’d rather be than
In Virginia
Sail with shore birds on Chesapeake
Touch heaven from Skyline Drive
Roll through Shenandoah
Watch Williamsburg come alive
Washington and Jefferson
Madison and Monroe
All fell in love with
Beautiful Virginia
Carry Me Back
to the Beautiful
Carry Me Back
to the Beautiful
Carry me back to a place in time
Carry me back for peace of mind
Where the spirit is set free
Through the landscape and history
Nowhere I’d rather be than
In Virginia
