charlie robison - magnolia lyrics
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 n-body’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
