LYRICS:

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate

I might as well, will be the one

Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray

They built you a temple and locked you away

Ah but they never told you the price that you pay

For things that you might have done

Only the good die young

That's what I said

Only the good die young

Only the good die young

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd

We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud

We might be laughing a bit too loud

Ah but that never hurt noone

So come on Virginia show me a sign

Send up a signal I'll throw you a line

That stained glass curtain you're hiding behind

Never lets in the sun

Darlin only the good die young

I tell you only the good die young

Only the good die young

You get a nice white dress

And a party on your confirmation

You've got a brand new soul

Mm and a cross of gold

But Virginia they didn't give you

Quite enough information

You didn't count on me

When you were counting on your rosary

And they say there's a heaven for those who will wait

Some say it's better but I say it ain't

I'd rather laugh with the sinners

Than cry with the saints

The sinners are much more fun

You know that only the good die young

I tell you only the good die young

Only the good die young

You said your mother told you

All I could give you was a reputation

Ah she never cared for me

But did she ever say a prayer for me?

Come out, come out, come out Virginia

Don't let me wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

Sooner or later it comes down to fate

I might as well, will be the one

You know that only the good die young

Tell you baby

You know that only the good die young

This was a featured track on "American Top 40 - The '70s" (from June 24th, 1978), & was the #30 song. Bravo, William Martin Joel!
