Magnolia Is Medicine

God bless Virginia and the Dixieland
I’m not from here but I still know
Heaven smiles upon crops and cotton fields
Where the old country meets the new
Where I felt the rain
And asked how I could be expected to sit passive in pain
God anoint me with magnolia oil
There’s colonial lineage in this soil
Years of history still left to give
I made my way here by chance
But I could stay
As long as I live
Magnolia is medicine for me
