Meet Virginia

This song is about...

A Waitress, who doesn't know what she wants out of life. The Narrator of this song is the gentleman who has been admiring Ms. Virginia from across the diner for years now. He is a regular there and he introducing Virginia to you from a distance.

She doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess If you catch her stealin', she won't confess

Imagine a waitress who works in a shirt and khakis all day. Coffee spillage is inevitable so she never wears dresses . "Catch her steal in" is an expression to describe how she picks up her tips..gratefully but nervous because she somehow feels like she doesn't deserve them.

She's beautiful, she smokes a pack a day, wait that's me, but anyway

She really does smoke a pack a day out back, but her manager doesn't allow it, so the narrator is covering for her

She doesn't care a thing about that, hey She thinks I'm beautiful. Meet Virginia

When she walks by, she says "good evenin' beautiful"

"meet virginia" He's introducing you to Virginia from afar

She never compromises, loves babies and surprises

She doesn't allow for substitutions to the menu, due to her bad memory, but always smiles for babies and extra tips

Wears hi-heels when she exercises Ain't that beautiful Meet Virginia

This is a play on words, She has to wear heels at work. Her "exercise" is running back and forth taking orders and delivering dishes.

Well she wants to be the Queen Then she thinks about her scene Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna be the queen

Another poetic play on words. She's painfully discouraged by her current waitress situation...she doesn't think she has what it takes to accomplish her dreams, so sadly she denies that she has any.

Her daddy wrestles alligators, Mama works on carburetors Her brother is a fine mediator for the President Well here she is again on the phone Just like me hates to be alone We just like to sit at home, and rip on the President

This reveals more seeds of her insecurity. She comes from a brave, talented, and intelligent family. They're out there impressing the world and "here she is again" struggling with her fear of loneliness.

Meet Virginia Well she wants to live her life Then she thinks about her life Pulls her hair back as she screams I don't really wanna live this life

She wants so badly to break free and live the life of her dreams but she is shackled by doubt and her perceived position in society

She only drinks coffee at midnight, when the moment is not Right, her timing is quite unusual You see her confidence is tragic, but her intuition magic And the shape of her body unusual

She always takes her coffee break at the busiest time of night.

She lacks confidence, but has a magical way of making everyone around her happy even when she brings their food late..

Her body shape is "unusually" well shaped for a waitress who works double shifts. It has yet to show the wear and tear of the abuse she puts it through.

Meet Virgina I can't wait to Meet Virginia, yeah e yeah hey hey hey

Here he reveals the secret that he has never formally met Virginia before. All that he knows of her is a compilation of their 2 or 3 sentence conversations and what he has observed of her from a distance. He himself struggles with inadequacy and hopes to one-day overcome his fears and speak with her one on one...and maybe perhaps help her to overcome hers
