A Little Dive Bar In Dahlonega

Album: Girl Going Nowhere (2017)

  • To the bag packed, first love leaver
    The heart cracked, double down dreamer
    The homesick for grass that's greener
    And a slice of mama's peach pie

    To the flat broke, couch cushion gas money
    The worker bee that ain't gettin' no honey
    Missin' someone all the while runnin'
    Gunnin' for the brighter lights

    Here's to the break ups that didn't break us
    The break down, wrong turn that takes ya
    To a little dive bar in Dahlonega
    Hear a song from a band that saves ya, man
    It's hittin' rock bottom, smoke 'em if you got 'em
    Nothing's going right
    Makin' the best of the worst day kinda night

    We've all got a number that we don't wanna drunk dial
    And a good friend we ain't seen in a while
    And a slow dance left in these boots
    And a chance at putting down new roots

    Here's to the break ups that didn't break us
    The break down, wrong turn that takes ya
    To a little dive bar in Dahlonega
    Hear a song from a band that saves ya, man
    It's hittin' rock bottom, smoke 'em if you got 'em
    Nothing's going right
    Makin' the best of the worst day kinda night

    Here's to the break ups that didn't break us
    The break down, wrong turn that takes ya
    To a little dive bar in Dahlonega
    Meet a girl outside Atlanta, man
    When it's hittin' rock bottom, smoke 'em if you got 'em
    Nothing's going right
    You're just singing along with your drink raised
    A pretty little blonde thing's looking your way
    Makin' the best of the worst day kinda night
    Yeah, it's making the best of the worst day kind of night

    Oh
    Here's to the breakups
    It's that kinda night Writer/s: Ashley McBryde, Jesse Kenneth Rice, Nicolette Rose Hayford
