about

this song is about having a love of the countryside when you live within the city bounds. it's also the first song written AND recorded for this album. back in 2014

lyrics

Somewhere down highway 34
Where you can’t see the city anymore
The sun shines just a little more bright
And the night stars don't get blocked out by the city lights
and it's all just a drive down highway 34

I'm dreaming of Green Valley
I don't wanna go home
When I close my eyes, I see that swing on the tree
before the autumn backdrop full of painted colored leaves

There's no place quite like Williamstown
It's so unique because there's nothing else around
Its river flows thru the past behind the cottage houses
Its hidden treasure lies behind the sign for he who browses

It never rains, and no one complains
and why would they when the land they have is so beautiful?
You can smell the difference in the air
When the sun goes down, I don't wanna go home
No, I don't wanna go home

So I'll keep driving down County Road 18
While I’m dreaming of Green Valley
I don’t wanna go home tonight
So why not stay up all night and watch the constellations shine bright
Like I've never seen before

This place feels like home in my heart and I've known it from the start
When I close my eyes I see that bear-looking-dog smiling back at me
Before I know it - it's all over even though the time passes a little bit slower
I'll be back before I know'er and I cannot wait 'til then
