Richmond Songtext
von Advance Base

I drove back to Richmond
To see you again
I was supposed to work but
Gave my shift to a friend
I came back to show you
The ways that I′ve grown
Now that I'm older
& Have lived on my own
To show to the ways you
Made me who I am


I see you in the mirror
I drove back to Richmond
To see how you′ve been
To learn more about all
The life that you've lived
& To talk about CJ
& To talk about Chris
& All my reasons for leaving
& Everything that I've missed
I′ve been so sad & angry

I know you′ve been too
But I can't take the silence
I drove back to Richmond
With no real plan
I stopped at a truck stop
& Slept in the van
& It was still early
When I got to town
I went by the churchyard
Then just drove around

Drove slow down our street ′til
I got to the house
I saw you in the window
