Richmond Rewrites

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
