I left Louisiana, I had me big plans To go out and take me all over this land To see me the world, I left my sweet girl And gave it a whirl, but now here I stand Along side the road with holes in my soul and my shoes And beaucoups of blues Oh, sweet magnolia Breath carried over the marsh by a breeze from the gulf I'm coming home (coming home) I've had me enough (I've had me enough) ♪ Oh, where are the things I saw in my dreams? Where's the happy that freedom should bring? I see me today and know yesterday That I threw away my most precious things I see me a man who's lonely, wants only to lose Beaucoups of blues Oh, sweet magnolia Breath carried over the marsh by a breeze from the gulf I'm coming home (coming home) I've had me enough (had me enough) I'm coming home (coming home) I've had me enough (I've had me enough)
