To be that good, it must be taxin' There's no such thing as satisfaction You're makin' things happen while I'm relaxin' Like a Sunday afternoon My dad used to tell me I was lazy I got dance moves like Patrick Swayze I'm the leftover turkey for the world's mayonnaise The star next to the moon Now I know I'm just here to amuse you And I don't mean to abuse you But if I could just use you one more time Tell me what it's like to be the queen of it all The Neiman Marcus of the Mall And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl Now, I never had a supernatural feelin' Not to mention a sexual healin' But every now and then I get to the kneelin' To thank Him for it all But you probably got some inside connection So many numbers that you gotta Rolodex them So much muscle that you never gotta flex them To catch you when you fall And I know I'm just here to amuse you And I don't mean to confuse you But if I could just use you one more time Tell me what it's like to be the house on the hill The number one diet pill And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl Now I bet you won't say you get crazy Or that you don't shave your legs when you're lazy Or that you're just like everybody else in the world You just got lucky, that's all And I know you're not here to amuse me But you sure know how to confuse me So if I could just ask you once again To tell me what it's like to be a star on the rise A breakfast cereal prize And tell me what it's like to be the one and only All American Girl The All American Girl The all amazing, crazy girl

Well, she was an american girl, Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking that there was little more to life, somewhere else After all it was a great big world, With lots of places to run to And if she had to die trying she, Had one little promise she was gonna keep Oh yeah All right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an american girl Well it was kind of cold at night, She stood alone on the balcony Yes she could hear the cars roll by out on 441, like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there, He crept back in her memory God, its so painful when something thats so close, is still so far out of reach Oh yeah All right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl Oh yeah All right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl

I sure like that candy I don't go for them turnip greens I sure like that candy I don't go for them turnip greens So when you put it on the table Oh mama think about me Well I don't drink Coca Cola But I sure like the old moonshine Well I don't drink Coca Cola But I sure like the old moonshine Yeah we drink it from a fruit jar With my little baby by my side Well I don't much like walking But I love my Eldorado ride I ain't never cared a thing about walking But I love my Eldorado ride Yeah we run it round the cornfield With my little baby by my side (Chorus)Well I don't drink Coca Cola But I sure like the old moonshine Well I don't drink Coca Cola But I sure like the old moonshine

Put down your things and rest awhile We both know where to go Yeah, daddy had to crash He was always halfway there you know And no, I don't pretend there's any more of that They say one day, you'll look up and laugh And hear the same sad echo when you walk Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk, loud and clear It's the same, it's the same sad echo around here I promise you this winter I will worship you like gold And ride your train forever Electric fortunes to be told And I don't want to question or even celebrate All the joy you took and then gave back too late It's the same sad echo when you lie It's the same sad echo when you try to be clear It's the same as the same sad echo, around here Well, I woke up right here In a pool of sweat With a box of pills and you Yeah, and I'm gonna keep my head I'm gonna keep my cool 'Cause I'm so in love with you Yes, and in another world nothing was like this There may have been a girl There never was a kiss The poison came in liquid She was naked all the time And no one could explain it It was all between the lines And I don't seem to trust anyone no more It could be faith, but now I'm not quite sure It's the same sad echo every day Yeah, the same sad echo another way It's the same sad echo when you call It's the same, it's the same sad echo, most of all Well you just got tired You just gave in You took it hard Then you just quit You let me down You dropped the ball You fell on your face most of all And I don't want to mean anything to you I don't want to tempt you to be true It's the same sad echo comin' down It's the same sad echo all around in my ears It's the same, it's the same sad echo around here

Goin' down to Lillian's Music Store To buy a black diamond string Gonna wind it up on my guitar Gonna make that silver sing Like it was Dreamville A long time ago A million miles away All the trees were green In Dreamville I keep wakin' up all by myself With a Blue Jay in my brain Flappin' his wings Making me sing It was just about to rain Like it was Dreamville Where I was born Light-years from here And the air smelled good In Dreamville Like it was Dreamville A long time ago Light-years from here And the trees were green In Dreamville Ridin' with my momma To Glen Springs Pool Water was cold My lips were blue There was rock and roll Across the dial When I think of her It makes me smile Like it was Dreamville A long time ago A million miles away All the trees were green In Dreamville In Dreamville It was in Dreamville A long time ago Light-years from here And the air smelled good In Dreamville In Dreamville

From a table across the room She was signaling me with her eyes I walked over to be introduced I said, "Hello", she just smiled And said, "I know a place Not too far from here We could get away for a while" Yeah, that's when she kissed me And told me her name I never did tell her mine Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia And I know that she's out there Somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia Well her lips were as warm As that wet southern night Her eyes were as black as the sky And I wondered aloud Just what I had done right As I lay there, with her by my side Then she took hold of my hand As she looked up at me And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye" And there in the moonlight As I watched her leave I felt a chill down inside Oh, Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia And I know that she's out there Somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia I remember the smell Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
