    "You know I Wish I was in Richmond
    You know I Do , I 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 Salesman , 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 I Wish I was Back Home
    You know I Wish I was in Richmond
    The Land I was Raised , The Place i've Always known
    As a Frost Comes , I've Learned Some
    Not to Make the same Mistakes Again
    Laws are Learned , As Rule Books Burn
    But what i do 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
