Well, I heard that girls from Illinois
Never go for southern boys
Cause we were raised by hands we never held
That didn't stop our first hello
Your yellow sundress made it so
I couldn't let you go for someone else

I mentioned Nashville's country muse
We spoke about your hometown too
cnd even spent some time on our regrets
But that small town struck a chord with me
One that echoed harmony
Magnolia is a place I won't forget

So in spring, when they bloom, should I send a few to you?
Or should I keep them for myself in the corner of my room?

Cause I am so in love with you
cnd if you feel the same way too
Well then, we can spend our life together, your head on my shoulder
I hope one day that I'll be your Magnolia

Nashville is the place to be
c town with years of history
You could hear me sing our favorite songs
But if you choose to walk away
I won't say things to make you stay
cnd maybe it'd be best if I moved on

But in spring, when they bloom, should I send a few to you?
Or should I keep them for myself in the corner of my room?

‘Cause I am so in love with you
cnd if you feel the same way too
We can live our life together, your head on my shoulder
I hope one day that I'll be your Magnolia

Time has passed, it's strange to me
That I could still be so naive
To chase a girl who barely knew my name
But she showed up in Tennessee
Magnolias in her hand, she speaks
“I hope you know I always kept them safe


Then in spring, when they'd bloom, I'd pray you'd send a few
So I could keep them for myself, in the corner of my room

Cause I am so in love with you
cnd if you feel the same way too
We can live our lives together, my head on your shoulder
I'm glad that I can call you my Magnolia”
“I'm happy you could call me your Magnolia”
