Three Different Times in This Song

Don't change the color of your hair;
Billie Joel chases early morning brilliance
between campers in the RV lot.
We've got our favorite spots
sometimes unlocked in '77 sunshine.

I round a corner, there again
normal,
haven't yet hit 11
like they said in Ohio
when I missed the last candle.

I'm always driving back in this song
when the rain sands Cedar;
I'm older
than Virginia
