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
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
