Sprawl and crawl to the banjo drawl.

lyrics

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 home
How fondly I recall our starter mansion
Way back when Ashburn was out on the edge
Four car garage to park all 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 human race
Once there were trees in North Virginny
But the chain saws they buzzed
till I thought I’d go deaf
Maples, and pines, 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!
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?
