Magnolia

I met you in a parking lot

It was late in December 2005

I was coming down from a three day high

You said you come up in a one horse town

Well baby I grew up in a gamble house

It was meant to be

We were made to be broken

That's when you said your love for me

Was like a Magnolia tree

Strong and tall and as real as the breath in my lungs

Well Magnolia, don't you know

That love we hads grown cold

So won't you come back around and we can set it on fire tonight

We used to stay up late and get loud in the streets

We got arrested for possesion by the police

But you can tell the law to just leave us alone

Cause now I'm working for the ocean and paying my dues

They took everything I had but they can't have you

Cause I'm headed back, coming back to Caroline

And now your sitting cross legged on the front porch

Lightin your cigarette with my butane torch

And I'm sitting inside all alone with the radio

Well Magnolia, don't you know

That the love we hads grown cold

So won't you come back around and we can set it on fire tonight

Oh Magnolia, my loves gotten cold
