[Part I]

[Verse 1]
Call me when you
Get back to Baltimore
We'll talk of things new
It might seem things are fine
But trouble takes its own time
And sometimes people too

[Chorus]
And we should take a long ride
You and I to Avalon
Take me somewhere new
And it could be such a long drive
You and I just babbling
Nothing else to do

[Verse 2]
Pick up my six string
Play a subtle tune
I'll fix something to sing with you
I'm tired of splitting nails
In the kitchen she was holding you all alone
In the back's where they throw out the bones
[Chorus]
And we should take a long drive
You and I to Avalon
Take me somewhere new
And it could be such long drive
You and I just babbling
Nothing else to do

[Post-Chorus]
Are you leaving?
Yes you're leaving
Just for tonight I'd like you standing by

[Part II]

[Verse 1]
I was a thief
I faked a call
Emptied a bar in Baltimore
Sat on the stairs
Where somebody swears
"Things will get better in Baltimore"

[Refrain]
Where it gets hot on the magnolia
Where it gets hot on the magnolia
[Verse 2]
And how did it taste?
Crabs on paper
You just kept holding on Baltimore
Ate from a palm
Ate from the shore
But I just stopped growing in Baltimore

[Refrain]
Where it gets hot on the magnolia
Where it gets hot on the magnolia
Where it gets hot on the magnolia
Where it gets hot on the magnolia

[Outro]
There is a dream land many miles inside me
And I go there when I can
Many miles haunting me
There is a dream land many miles inside me
And I go there when I can
Many miles haunting me
There is a dream land many miles inside me
And I go there when I can
Many miles haunting me
There is a dream land many miles inside me
And I go there when I can
Many miles haunting me
