She said she longed for brighter skies
A place where stars don't fade or die
We left behind that dusty road
To find a home where dreams could grow
But the city's glow can dim so fast
Some dreams just weren't built to last
In the heart of Sweet Auburn town
Where joy and pain both come around
I gave her love I gave my all
But I lost her to the city's call
She danced through halls of smoky bars
Her voice as bright as morning stars
But the nights were long the tears would fall
I couldn't fight that city's call
I saw the spark light up her eyes
But the city's glow began to rise
She danced through halls of smoky bars
Her voice as bright as morning stars
But the nights were long the tears would fall
I couldn't fight that city's call
In the heart of Sweet Auburn town
Where joy and pain both come around
I gave her love I gave my all
But I lost her to the city's call
Now I walk alone these streets so wide
The memory of her song still by my side
I built my dreams on love so true
But this town just stole her from my view
In the heart of Sweet Auburn town
Where joy and pain both come around
I gave her love I gave my all
But I lost her to the city's call
