Richmond Rewrites

Lyrics

I met a girl in Richmond Who took me in and made me feel my age I met a girl in Richmond When I took a breath and sat below the stage We sat beneath the stars at night I told her about the prior evenings fight Hmm She called me something cute like tough And I guess she thought that I was cute enough We talked and talked until 'round four But we could have talked much much more I told her I was a song writer she Said that she works at a little store I asked her how old she was and she said, "Technically, I'm 24" When I told her I felt 80 she asked for advice I told her "one thing we know at 80 is that 24 is nice" She said we're both old but both so young Let's feel the cold night air in our lungs And go to where the kids might spend their nights Smooching underneath the starry lights These are my Richmond Rewrites If you stay by my side we'll pretend That our love will have no end If you stay by my side we'll pretend That our love will have no end
