Discover the story of the song > Magnolia – J.J. Cale

The lyrics are about a man who is away from his partner in New Orleans and is longing to return to her. He is constantly thinking about her and is driven mad by how much he misses her. He hears the whippoorwill's singing and the soft summer breeze, which reminds him of his sweet partner and makes him want to go back to her. He promises to come home soon and tells her that she is the best he ever had.
