[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
