It's 11:45 in the middle of the week
And a chill is running through the air
As I make my way down a dark side street
Lighting up a cigarette
And I sit behind the wheel
Watching ambers turn to red
With a sense of deja vu
That follows everywhere, everywhere, now it's

Midnight in Richmond my friend
And I'm on the road again
Where the street lamps glow like back in the day
But it never feels the same

Cross the bridge where the river threads silently
Like footsteps in the dark
Where my mind comes alive with a new memory
Igniting up another spark
Of where I saw you last in a distant past
As the lights begin to change
See me turning, pulling away, now it's

Midnight in Richmond my friend
And l'm on the road again
Where the street lamps glow like back in the day
But it never feels the same
When it's midnight in Richmond my friend
And I'm on the road again
In a breeze that seems to whisper your name
Where did you go?
Where did you go, tell me where did you run to?
Where did you go cause I was waiting right here
Waiting for you

Yes I saw you last in a distant past
Now time stands still whenever
These streets get crossed
I'm forever lost at midnight in Richmond my friend
And l'm on the road again
Where the street lamps glow like back in the day
But it never feels the same
When it's midnight in Richmond my friend
And I'm on the road again
In a breeze that seems to whisper your name
