Virginia (i/vərˈdʒɪnjə/), officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a U.S. state located in the South Atlantic region of the United States. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" and sometimes the "Mother of Presidents" after the eight U.S. presidents born there. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city and Fairfax County the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's population is over eight million.
The area's history begins with several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607 the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent New World English colony. Slave labor and the land acquired from displaced Native American tribes each played a significant role in the colony's early politics and plantation economy. Virginia was one of the 13 Colonies in the American Revolution and joined the Confederacy in the American Civil War, during which Richmond was made the Confederate capital and Virginia's northwestern counties separated to form the state of West Virginia. Although the Commonwealth was under conservative single-party rule for nearly a century following Reconstruction, both major national parties are competitive in modern Virginia.

She said she was a visionary
We all knew she was quite full of herself
And we cast our shadows on the floor
We expected her decision hours ago
And now she's left alone to ask herself
What Virginia has to offer her
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
And he said he was a father figure
We all knew that he was quite the opposite of strength
And we cast our shadows on the floor
We expected him to be hours ago
And now he's left alone to ask himself
What Virginia has to offer him
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
We are unclean and far from sober
All my life I've followed holy visions
Virginia makes me nervous
Oh, and now I'm thinking about rain again
And I'm trying to remember when
We were young enough
To fight the fever back with love
But now how am I gonna fight it back
When they're bringing me under
So grey on the city that'll lead the play
And their consequences
Bring the fever back again
How am I gonna bring it back
When it (rams) me asunder
Bring the past up to par
He says leave me there to follow
Set me up, set me straight
Virginia far too stale to swallow
Well, we've got faded lives and color television
We are unclean and far from sober
All my life I've followed holy visions
Virginia makes me nervous
