Waihi is a town in Hauraki District in the North Island of New Zealand, especially notable for its history as a gold mine town. It had a population of 4,527 at the 2013 census.
The town is at the foot of the Coromandel Peninsula, close to the western end of the Bay of Plenty. The nearby resort town of Waihi Beach, ten kilometres to the east, is often regarded as the westernmost point of the Bay of Plenty region. To the west are the hills of the Kaimai Ranges. Road access from this direction is through the winding Karangahake Gorge road. Waihi has an unusually wet and damp microclimate for New Zealand's east coast with an average annual rainfall of 2147 mm.
Waihi is located in the Coromandel district, which was one of the great gold mining districts of the world. The township grew around the mining operations since the discovery of gold in 1878 by prospectors John McCombie and Robert Lee. The samples of rock they had sent to be assayed were not considered worthwhile, so they left the area.
Sometiems I need to paint, you can be my canvas
Sometimes I want to escape, even though it's selfish
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
As the clock strikes twelve I'll be freakin you out
Make us both forget what we were worried about
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cuz there's not much time
I'm gonna get to you
Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
Sometimes i bite my lip so i don't slip and say his name
Cuz in these magic moments i get homesick all the same
I'm always comin over and smokin you out
Because everything is better with a blunt in your mouth
If i waited for you i'd just be waiting alone
So when the clock strikes 2 i'll be on my way home
Traffic's jammed on the 405
I hop in the whip cuz there's not much time
Damnit, I'm gonna get to you
Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
I'm gone, to take, the canyon
Sippin mamolet

Fly through the streets like a hawk to the sky
Be in and out like a drive by
I'm gone. to take. the canyon
It feels so good because i know that it's wrong
Get back home, ain't nothin goin on
