A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega
Ashley McBryde Lyrics

To the bag packed, first love leaver
Here's to those who leave their first love behind and move on.

The heart cracked, double down dreamer
Here's to those who have had their heart broken but still dare to dream big.

The homesick for grass that's greener
Here's to those who yearn for something better and keep searching for it.

And a slice of mama's peach pie
Here's to the simple comforts of home and the love that surrounds it.

To the flat broke, couch cushion gas money
Here's to those who are struggling to make ends meet and can only find gas money in their couch cushions.

The worker bee that ain't gettin' no honey
Here's to those who work hard every day but struggle to make any headway.

Missin' someone all the while runnin'
Here's to those who feel a constant longing for someone, even as they move forward with their lives.

Gunnin' for the brighter lights
Here's to those who strive for something better, something brighter.

Here's to the break ups that didn't break us
Here's to the painful breakups that didn't defeat us but made us stronger.

The break down, wrong turn that takes ya
Here's to the moments when we feel like everything is falling apart and we take a wrong turn.

To a little dive bar in Dahlonega
Here's to the little bars that provide a place to escape and find solace.

Hear a song from a band that saves ya, man
Here's to the bands that play the songs that speak to our souls and save us in our darkest moments.

It's hittin' rock bottom smoke 'em if you got 'em
Here's to those moments when we feel like we've hit rock bottom and just need to smoke a cigarette to cope.

Nothing's going right
Here's to the moments when everything seems to be going wrong.

Makin' the best of the worst day kinda night
Here's to the moments when we take what we've been given and try to make the best of it, even when it's tough.

We've all got a number that we don't wanna drunk dial
Here's to the people we think about late at night but know we shouldn't call.

And a good friend we ain't seen in a while
Here's to the friends we've lost touch with and miss dearly.

And a slow dance left in these boots
Here's to the moments when all we want to do is dance with someone we care about.

And a chance at putting down new roots
Here's to the moments when we have the opportunity to start fresh and build something new.

Meet a girl outside Atlanta, man
Here's to the moments when we meet someone new and exciting.

You're just singing along with your drink raised
Here's to the moments when we let our guard down and just sing and drink with friends.

A pretty little blonde thing's looking your way
Here's to the moments when we catch someone's eye and feel that spark of connection.

Yeah, it's making the best of the worst day kind of night
Here's to the moments when we turn a terrible day around and make it a great night.

Oh
An exclamation of emotion or emphasis, not a literal meaning.

It's that kinda night
A description of the type of night it is — one filled with unexpected highs and lows, but ultimately enjoyable.
