Lyrics

[Intro] A dusty road, a heart filled with sighs Longing for her, under these Georgia skies [Verse 1] Left my soul in that small Southern town Where we danced and laughed, before love came undone Eyes like the ocean, wild and free Lost in the waves of that sweet memory Just south of Georgia's pines [Verse 2] I sit alone as the sun declines Thinkin' of a love I remember still Lost my heart to that cinnamon girl [Verse 3] Can't shake her memory, it's always thrilled Here, just south of Georgia's will [Verse 4] I've roamed from town to dusty town But her echoes follow, they're all around In every face, I search in vain For that cinnamon smile, to ease my pain [Chorus] Cause she was one of a kind, my cinnamon girl Her laughter a melody, her hair in a twirl [Verse 5] Beneath the stars, I whisper her name Haunted by the ghost of her flame Each twangin' guitar, every sweet fiddle's whirl Brings me on back to my cinnamon girl [Chorus] And she'll be forever, my cinnamon girl A leap of faith, a lost world In my rearview, miles I've unfurled Still chasing shadows of my cinnamon girl [Verse 6] Tried to replace her, with diamonds and pearls But nothing compares to my cinnamon girl [Verse 7] Now the jukebox plays, that old loving tune And I'm by myself, staring up at the moon She had that fire, no one else could spark A Southern beauty, she left her mark [Verse 8] A lonely drifter, on life’s wild sea But her memory's the anchor that clings to me [Chorus] Wherever I go, she's the tale that I tell My sweet cinnamon girl, oh she knew me so well
