"Climbing Magnolias" lyrics

Feels like yesterday in my old neighborhood
Mama didn't know where we were
But she knew we were good
We'd sneak through the hole of that pine dog-eared fence
Smoltz card bike spokes parked under that branch

We'd spend our summer up there
So how we could pass God a prayer

These days I'm missing those days I was younger
Sipping treetop Coca-Cola
Only worried about getting down before supper
'Fore the real world said I'm supposed to
Live life climbing ladders
Well trust me I'd rather
Be back home
Climbing magnolias

Didn't care about rent or some big promotion
If a friend had more money we didn't even know it
We were preoccupied playing tag with mag lights
Back when our world was a couple blocks wide

These days I'm missing those days I was younger
Sipping treetop Coca-Cola
Only worried about getting down before supper
'Fore the real world said I'm supposed to
Live life climbing ladders
Well trust me I'd rather
Be back home
Climbing magnolias

All I wanted to do was grow old
Till I put down roots of my own

These days I'm missing those days I was younger
Sipping treetop Coca-Cola
Only worried about getting down before supper
'Fore the real world said I'm supposed to
Live life climbing ladders
Well trust me I'd rather
Be back home
Climbing magnolias

Yeah trust me I'd rather
Be climbing magnolias
