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
