Dahlonega

[Verse 1] Headed into the hills again Thursday, north Georgia bound About fourty-three miles to my destination A little goldrush college town In the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the horizon Here I come Smokin' like a freight train Passin' time, racin' the sun When I pass that city limit sign I'm feelin' fine, oh Dahlonega [Verse 2] Seems everybody knows my name Man, it really blows my mind Cause I've never been one of those popular guys Was always the quiet kind And never a local football star celebrity None of the cool girls ever seemed to notice me Oh, but now I hear 'em sing along I feel at home in Dahlonega [Chorus] Dahlonega, Dahlonega I feel like I've struck gold I've struck gold around here I bury my heart and call it home [Guitar Break: 20 measures] [Verse 3] Midnight is closin' time Last call for alcohol And I watch everybody stumble away I hear Highway 60 call It's back to the real world Nine to five, payin' the bills Back to the routines Fillin' my flask and poppin' pills When I cross that Lumpkin county line I'll be cryin', I'll be cryin', I'll be cryin' Dahlonega, Dahlonega
