The Majestic Twelve


Your parents, they warned you 
Against the kind of boy who parks your cars 
And has himself one hell of a nerve 
My momma, she says I shouldn't oughtta 
Dream about a woman I could never deserve 
None of them could ever see 
How someone like you 
Could talk to someone like me 
And my little devil says 
I oughtta pull you closer now 
But I just want to smile awhile 
Since the boundaries just came down 
In Magnolia Grove 
My black boots, my big eyes 
My t-shirts and my Levi's, I work all day 
I sweat my passions out in the yard 
I tell you I need a shower and you 
Pull me close 
You take me so completely offguard 
Jasmine, Spanish Moss and Sycamore too 
But as I breathe, the only accent is you 
And my little devil says 
I wanna circus up and down 
But I think I'll just smile awhile 
Since we're breaking brand new ground 
In Magnolia Grove
