Lyrics

Dreamville

[Verse 1] Going down to Lillian's music store To buy a black diamond string Gonna wind it up on my guitar Gonna make that silver sing [Chorus] Like it was Dreamville A long time ago, million miles away All the trees were green in Dreamville [Verse 2] I keep waking up all by myself With a bluejay in my brain Flapping his wings, making me sing It was just about to rain [Chorus] Like it was Dreamville where I was born Light years from here And the air smelled good in Dreamville In Dreamville [Chorus] Like it was Dreamville A long time ago, light years from here And the trees were green in Dreamville [Bridge] Riding with my mama to Glen Springs pool The water was cold, my lips were blue There was rock and roll across the dial When I think of her, it makes me smile [Chorus] Like it was Dreamville A long time ago, million miles away All the trees were green in Dreamville In Dreamville Yeah, it was Dreamville A long time ago, light years from here And the air smelled good in Dreamville In Dreamville
