[Verse 1]
Well, deep in the heart of the heartland where the corn fields grow
We drove all night in circles singing with the radio
I was the third string tight end, 6'2" and shy
And she was the banker's daughter, was the middle of July
[Chorus]
She said, "Meet me 'neath that Magnolia, out past the briars and bees"
The river's rolling slow, yeah, and there's jasmine in the breeze
While we can, let's take a chance, don't get many nights like these
'Cause young don't last forever and good hearts don't grow on trees, no, they don't
[Verse 2]
I was working 'til seven, pumping gas on South Street
My buddy Chip was behind the counter, didn't need no ID
I was sitting on a branch when she pulled up, said, "What'd you tell your mom?"
She turned them headlights off and it didn't take us long
[Chorus]
And we danced 'neath that Magnolia out past the briars and bees
The river's rolling slow, yeah, and there's jasmine in the breeze
While we can, let's take a chance, don't get many nights like these
'Cause young don't last forever and good hearts don't grow on trees, no, they don't
[Bridge]
It's a shame that, that you grow up when you do
'Cause all the miles and all the years take a piece of you
Oh, I guess everything gets cut down over time
But that don't mean I don't go back there in my mind
[Chorus]
Back 'neath that Magnolia, out past the briars and bees
The river's rolling slow, yeah, and there's jasmine in the breeze
While we can, let's take a chance, don't get many nights like these
'Cause young don't last forever and good hearts don't grow on trees, yeah, no they don't
[Outro]
Woah
Yeah, no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no
Yeah, ooh
