[Intro]
One, two
Come on
Hey
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Deep in the heart of the heartland
Where the corn fields grow
You drove all night in circles
Singing with the radio
I was the third string tight end
6'2" and shy
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 rivers 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
Oh
[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 rivers 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
Yeah, ooh
[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
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 rivers 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
[Outro]
Yeah, good hearts don't grow on trees
Good hearts don't grow on trees
