Corey Smith - Dahlonega lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Headed into the hills again

Thursday, north Georgia bound

I'm bout 43 miles to my destination

A lil gold-rush college town

In the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the horizon

Here I come, smoking like a freight train

Passing time racin' the sun

When I pass that city limit sign

I'm feeling fine, oh Dahlonega

Seems everybody knows my name

Man, it really blows my mind

Cause I've neva been one of those popular guys

Was always the quiet kind

And neva a local football star celebrity

None of the cool girls eva seem to notice me

Oh, but now I hear 'em sing along

I feel at home in Dahlonega

(Chorus)

Dahlonega

I feel like I've struck gold, I've struck gold around here

Bury my heart and call it home

(Verse 2)

Midnight is closing time

Last call for alcohol

And I watch everybody stumble away

I hear Highway Sixty call

It's back to the real world

9 to 5, paying the bills

Back to the routines

Filling my flask and popping pills

When I cross that Lumpkin county line

I'll be crying, I'll be cryin', I'll be crying

(Chorus)

Dahlonega, Dahlonega, oh
