and we felt a kindred spirit

I could feel the fire

far away from you

Magnolia, now I see

that freedom isn't free

and love's the only true redeemer
Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
                     Em7Em7 Piano Chord 

And when this journey's through
Fmaj7Fmaj7 Piano Chord 

I'll be coming home for you

If you'll have this foolish dreamer

Passing through town on my travels
