Crying Magnolias

When my heart is caving in and I feel all alone, I wake up in the morning so far away from home. When my soul is crying out and I feel like I'm lost, I'll hold my head up proud so I will pay the cost. So life won't pass me by, I'll live while I can. Make the best of days gone by, wish I could hold in my hands, my magnolias crying in the rain. Wish I could catch the drops that fall. Instead I remain so far away from home. When I'm crying out for life, I'll hold my dreams I have in store. Even though it seems I can't get my foot in the door. And though I'll pay the price, because I've sacrificed. Soon I'll return again one day, under Louisiana blue sky, just so I could hold my, magnolias crying in the rain. Wish I could catch the drops that fall, but instead I remain far away from home. You gave me your hand to hold. You kept me warm when I was cold. So when my dreams unfold, I'll be back to hold, my magnolias crying in the rain, so I can catch the drops that fall, and no longer remain, so far away from home.
