Sequoyah Prep School - Magnolia Lyrics

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 came up in a one horse town
Well baby i grew up in the gamble house
It was meant to be
We were made to be broken
Thats 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 the love we had has grown cold
So won't you come back around and we can set it on fire tonight

We use to stay up late, get loud in the streets
Got arrested for possession by the police
But you can tell the law to just leave us alone
Cuz now I'm working for the ocean paying my dues they took everything i had but they cant have you
Cuz I'm headed back
Coming back to Carolina
And now your sitting cross legged on the front porch
Lighting your cigarette with a butane torch
And i was sitting inside all alone with the radio
Well Magnolia don't you know
That the love we had has grown cold
So wont you come back around and we can set it on fire tonight

Oh Magnolia my love's gotten cold
So wont you come back around and we can set it on fire tonight
