Magnolia

I killed a man when I was nine years old He'd found the ranch and all the horses we'd stole While he bled out I knelt and said a prayer Life could only go downhill from there We took off riding towards Arkansas Where the women don't mind a boy running from the law I was set to duel when one gal caught my eye I told her we'd marry once this man had died Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me I've been running my whole life, it's about time I got some sleep Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me Maybe one day I'll see you in my dreams He drew his gun before she counted to three Emptied his whole barrel and made a fool out of me I laid there dying while she just shook her head She smiled and said I'd be better off dead Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me I've been running my whole life, it's about time I got some sleep Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me Maybe one day I'll see you in my dreams Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me I've been running my whole life, it's about time I got some sleep Oh Magnolia, don't you weep for me Maybe one day I'll see you in my dreams
