[Verse]
Em Cadd9
Dancing on the creek bank
G D
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Em Cadd9
It was the best years of our lives
G D
We didnt have a care
Em Cadd9
Going 90 miles an hour
G D
Truck and an old dirt road
Em Cadd9
Two young ass kids
D Cadd9
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

[Verse]
Em Cadd9
Then graduation came
G D
You was big city bound
Em Cadd9
And I was going nowhere fast
G D
So I just hung around
Em Cadd9
By the next time I seen ya
G D
Your love had turned cold
Em Cadd9
So I guess you broke my heart
D Cadd9
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
[Chorus]
Em
Wild on the bloom
Cadd9
That April moon
G
It could have been forever
D
Darling that we stayed together
Em
But you had to go
Cadd9
And time dont slow
G D
It took you further from your home
Em
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

[Verse]
Em Cadd9
So I took to drinking
G D
I guess you wouldnt recognize me
Em Cadd9
My souls been torn and twisted
G D
Like that old dogwood tree
Em Cadd9
We used to talk about forever
G D
That was a million miles ago so
Em Cadd9
I see ya if I see ya
D Cadd9
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
[Chorus]
Em
Wild on the bloom
Cadd9
That April moon
G
If you aint dead set on leaving
D
and you miss the one you need
Em
just turn around
Cadd9
And remember when
G D
You had that hand to hold
Em Cadd9
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
