[Verse 1]
I followed you into the blue and north into the cold
You led me off my land, you led me far from home
I tried to be the kind of girl who never needed shit
I gave you all my light and I got naught to show for it

[Chorus]
I'm going back South
Down to Carolina
I'm gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I'm gonna let that dirt
Do its work
I'm gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia

[Verse 2]
I may live in my own mood beneath my feet alone
Didn't have a dime to ride the blinds to lead me back to home
I asked the conductor, "Sir, won't you let me ride?"
He said, "Baby girl, this ain't my world, train ain't nothing of mine"

[Chorus]
I'm going back South
Down to Carolina
I'm gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I'm gonna let that dirt
Do its work
I'm gonna plant mysеlf
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia
[Bridge]
Ooh, it's something in the air tonight, somеthing in the air tonight
Ooh, it's something in the air tonight, something in the air tonight
Ooh, it's something in the air tonight, something in the air tonight

[Chorus]
I'm going back South
Down to Carolina
I'm gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia
I'm gonna let that dirt
Do its work
I'm gonna plant myself
Under a magnolia, a magnolia
Magnolia, a magnolia, a magnolia
