Magnolia Lyrics

Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my babe
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Michelle, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

You whisper, "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

She left me March 2021, ive got to get back to you, you're the best ive ever had.. I can only imagine being able to play this for her in person one day. Her scent, her walk, her face, the way she talked and how we related like ive ever related to another woman before. I love this song the melody, lyrics, the brushes and the artwork on Naturally. When i first heard it i instantly knew who it was for.. Bittersweet unrequited love.

I grew up listening to my mom's JJ Cale records, and this song is one of my favorites. It's a wonder nobody has commented on it, as it is gorgeous musically and lyrically. Anytime I'm away from my gf for an extended period of time, this song is always there to soothe me.
