Dogwood

Dancin' on the creek bank
Blue eyes and auburn hair
It was the best years of our life
Didn't have a care

Goin' 90 miles an hour
Drunk in an old dirt road
Two young ass kids
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

Then graduation came
You was big city bound
I was goin' nowhere fast
So I just hung around

By the next time I seen you
Your love had turned cold
So I guess you broke my heart
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

White on the bloom, that April moon
It could have been forever, darlin', had we stayed together
But you had to go, time don't slow
It took me further from your home, back where the dogwood flowers grow

So I took to drinkin'
I guess you wouldn't recognize me
My soul's been torn and twisted
Like an old dogwood tree

We used to talk about forever
That was a million miles ago
So I'll see it if I see
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

White on the bloom, that April moon
You ain't dead set on leavin', when you miss the one you need
Just getting real, he'll remember when
You had that hand to hold, back where the dogwood flowers grow
The dogwood flowers grow
The dogwood flowers grow

The dogwood flowers grow
