Lyrics
TWENTY SECONDS FROM THE MOMENT I MET YOU
I SAW THE APRIL IN YOUR EYES
AND IT BURNED A HOLE IN MY DECEMBER SOUL
NOW YOU TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO FORGET YOU
AND I CAN GUESS WHAT THAT IMPLIES
YOU DON'T LOVE HIM DO YA
BABE I THOUGHT I KNEW YA
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT SCENT OF SPRING
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT DIXIE THING
YOU WERE EV'RYTHING A LOSER COULD HOPE FOR
A FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF LUST
AND YOU CAUGHT ME STARING IN THE THICK NIGHT AIR
YOU WERE SOMEONE I COULD ACT LIKE A DOPE FOR
AND SO I STUMBLED INTO TRUST
NOW I LAY YOUR LIES OUT
WHILE MY BODY CRIES OUT
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT SCENT OF SPRING
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT DIXIE THING
YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME ALL I NEED
WAS BAGS OF WEED AND MIRRORED CEILINGS
NOW I GOT A PINT OF DREAMS
AND KRISPY KREMES TO KILL THESE FEELINGS
IF THE DEAL IS FINAL
GIVE ME BACK MY VINYL
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT SCENT OF SPRING
MAGNOLIA
MAGNOLIA
BRING ME THAT DIXIE THING
