Lyrics:
[Verse 1] There's a prison on route 41 Home to my father, first cousin, and son And I visit on every weekend Not with my body but with prayers that I send I've a reason for my absentee And no lack of love for my dear family And my savior is not Christ the Lord But one named Virginia whom I live my life for [Chorus] 'Cause I owe mine to her And I'd rot in that prison for sure If she'd tossed me aside And not shown me the way to abide [Verse 2] By the creed, the law of the land Unlike my uncle, grandpa, and great aunt Whom I'd most likely see every day If not for the righteous path Virginia's laid There's a prison on route 41 Home to my mother, stepbrother, and son And I'd tear down that jail by myself If not for Virginia who made me someone else [Chorus] And I owe all to her And I'd rot in that prison for sure If she'd tossed me aside And not shown me the way to abide [Verse 3] By the precepts of her purity So unlike the habits of my whole family Who I only see down on my knees In prayer by Virginia whom I live for to please
