There is a flower that grows in the South
Sways in the breeze blown from God’s own mouth
Blooming in the springtime and sinking with the sun
Always asking “girl, why do you run?”

Oh, Magnolia
Can’t believe I never told you
You paint the skies of my wildest dreams
And oh, sweet Dixie
Please tell me that you’ll miss me
It’s your voice that calls me each time I leave

There is a poison that courses my veins
It calms my nerves and it eases my pain
It’s strong and it’s burning with a man’s first name
Oh, Jack Daniels
Who do I blame

Oh, Magnolia
Can’t believe I never told you
You paint the skies of my wildest dreams
Oh, sweet Whiskey,
I wish that he missed me
Lord, please help me to change my ways

From the streets down in charlestown to the hills in Tennessee
Down that muddy river
Please wash over me
My mama, she’s waiting at the end of the line
I can still hear her singing “baby, take your sweet time”

Oh, Magnolia
Can’t believe I never told you
You paint the skies of my wildest dreams
And oh, sweet Dixie
Please tell me that you’ll miss me
It’s your voice that calls me each time I leave

It’s your voice that calls me each time I leave
