D 	  	   G 	         D 
I drove all day to North Mississippi 
D 	  	         E 	      A 
I drove all night to the place I call home 
D 	  	           G 	             D 
I hope that Johnny?s still waitin? there for me 
D 	  	          A         D 
To take me beside him and call me his own 
G 	  	   D 
But it?s too late now 
G 	        D 
It?s too late now 
G 	  	D 
The smell of magnolias  
G 	          D 
Still sweet in my mouth 
G 	  	A 	 D 
And I know it?s too late now
 
Johnny got mean when he started drinkin?  
And it wasn?t nobody?s fault when he cried 
So I left one mornin? from North Mississippi 
Cause I couldn?t stand to tell mama I lied 
 
Chorus 
 
Johnny took no time to ask me to marry 
And I said I would though I knew it was wrong 
They played Hank Williams in North Mississippi 
And I played the same girl I had all along 
 
Chorus 
 
Early one mornin? in North Mississippi 
I swore that I could hear somebody cry 
But it wasn?t my Johnny from North Mississippi 
All dressed up in orange on the day that I died 
 
Chorus: 
But it?s too late now 
It?s too late now 
The smell of magnolias 
Now gone from my mouth 
And I know it?s too late now
