you know i wish i was in richmond
you know i do
wish i was back home
you know i wish i was in richmond
the land i was raised
the place i've always known
and now i'm waiting in new york city
the rain is falling
no one seems to see
and all the salesmen
they take notice
forget the rushing lives for the rushing brides to be
you know i wish i was in richmond
you know i do
i wish i was back home
she didn't change me
she forgave me
so now it's time
time for me to leave
like broken glass in my broken hands
i'm broken down
this i do believe
you know i wish i was in richmond
you know i do
wish i was back home
you know i wish i was in richmond
the land i was raised
the place i've always known
and as a frost comes
i've learned some
not to make the same mistakes again
laws are learned as rule books burn
but what all i know leads to still
my friend
i'm going back
back to richmond
you know i am
you know i'm going home
i'm going back
back to richmond
the land i was raised
the place that i call home
