Mia Borders: Music
Magnolia Blue
Welcome to the deep and dirty south where you sweat like rain
Where the storms keep coming; ain’t a damn thing changed
I got the blues in my blood and some soul in my heart
With my six-string love I ain’t gon’ never part, no
Welcome to a Crescent City summer on the river so wide
Where you ain’t got to be a color, but you got to pick a side
And you don’t got to have the money, but it sure feels alright when you do
And it only gets hotter when the sun goes down
When your girl hits the stage, I’m the talk of the town
I had the world on my shoulders, now it’s down at my feet
‘Cause I done rose from the ashes down on Bourbon Street, hey
Welcome to my home sweet home; it’s the place of my birth
And my final resting place when they put me in the dirt
Where my babies run around with my nieces and my nephews, too
Where my momma met my daddy; where I smoked my first fatty
Where I’ll buy my first Caddy; where I’ll always be happy
Like the kind of happy that I get whenever I remember you
Underneath the great magnolia with your chin upon my shoulder
A kiss upon my cheek and the air below my feet
The most bittersweet thing in a city so mean is you
Magnolia blue
