Magnolia

歌詞

I drove all day to North Mississippi I drove all night to the place I call home I hope that Johnny's still waitin' there for me To take me beside him and call me his own Chorus: But it's too late now It's too late now The smell of magnolias Still sweet in my mouth And I know it's too late now Johnny got mean when he started drinkin' And it wasn't nobody's fault when he cried So I left one mornin' from North Mississippi Cause I couldn't stand to tell mama I lied Chorus Johnny took no time to ask me to marry And I said I would though I knew it was wrong They played Hank Williams in North Mississippi And I played the same girl I had all along Chorus Early one mornin' in North Mississippi I swore that I could hear somebody cry But it wasn't my Johnny from North Mississippi All dressed up in orange on the day that I died Chorus: But it's too late now It's too late now The smell of magnolias Now gone from my mouth And I know it's too late now
