lyrics

I twist the bottle cap
And suddenly I'm back
I can smell your cigarette
Wafting round your neck

No, I can't forget Virginia
I thought that I could win ya
But I turned a little yella
I lost you

I'm always up for a fight
But I overestimate my speed
A sucker punch from the right
It knocked me smooth off my feet

I could've had ya

On the wraparound porch
You were glowing like a torch
And I spoke my clumsy words
The last you ever heard from me

I can't forget Virginia
I thought that I could win ya
But I turned a little yella
I lost you to a fella
I lost you

I'm always up for a fight
But I overestimate my speed
A sucker punch from the right
It knocked me smooth off my feet

I could've had ya
