Dancing on the creek bank

Blue eyes and auburn hair

It was the best years of our lives

We didn't have a care

Going 90 miles an hour

A truck and an old dirt road

Two young ass kids

Back where the dogwood flowers grow



Then graduation came

You was big city bound

I was going nowhere fast

So I just hung around

By the next time I seen you

Your love had grown cold

So I guess you broke my heart

Back where the dogwood flowers grow



White on the bloom

That April moon

It could have been forever darlin' had we stayed together

But you had to go 

Time don't slow

It took further from your home

Back where the dogwood flowers grow



So I took to drinking

I guess you wouldn't recognize me

My souls torn and twisted

Like an old dogwood tree

We used to talk about forever

That was a million miles ago

So I'll see it if I see

Back where the dogwood flowers grow



White on the bloom

That April moon

You ain't dead set on leavin 

When you miss the one you need

Just getting real

Hell remember when

You had that hand to hold 

Back where the dogwood flowers grow
