Magnolia Tree

And I’m so far from the road they laid in front of me, but one day I swear to god I’ll get my magnolia tree

It’s a worn out story, takes the air out of my lungs

I’ll explain away my days when loneliness became my drug

They can’t say I never tried, I walked with lions arm in arm

I held the face of chiseled lovers til they crumbled from my palms

And I’m so far from the road they laid in front of me, but one day I swear to god I’ll get my magnolia tree

Well, I broke a heart in Brooklyn, left “the one” down in El Paso

Scattered love like pappus to the wind and carried on with hope

And I’m so far from the road they laid in front of me, but one day I swear to god I’ll get my magnolia tree

You’ve got your white picket fence and your dog in the yard and two babies in the backseat of your mid-sized car

Don’t think my lucks run out or that I’m running out of time, I’ve just been driving on the shoulder waiting for the road that’s mine

And I’m so far from the road they laid in front of me, but one day I swear to god I’ll get my magnolia

And I’m so far from the road they laid in front of me but one day I swear to god I’ll get my magnolia tree
