Magnolia Lyrics

Magnolia
Magnolia
Your white flowers glow
Those cones filled with red seeds
They come and they go
Oh, moss tree
Oh, moss tree
Filled my wagon so
Made wigs and beards
Like someday I'd grow

Oh, rosebush
Oh, rosebush
My grandaddy's work
Been dug up, thrown out
Just weeds on the dirt
BACK HERE
AFTER YEARS
Once brought home a WOMAN
Now she's sent me back
Just here for a visit
Won't even unpack

Till Dad says
Oh, Dad says
"Let's throw 'round the ball,"
I'd love just to chat, Dad
This glove is too small
So each time
Oh, each time
That I come back home
Feels more like my folks' house
And I'm more alone

BACK HERE
AFTER YEARS
