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
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
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
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
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
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
Yeah, good hearts don´t grow on trees Good hearts don´t grow on trees
