Madaline

Verse

I was just a flute girl in the back row of the line

Marching through the dust when the sun hit just right

She stepped up with a clipboard and a smile that hit me hard

Assistant to the director, but she stole the whole yard

Chorus

Madaline, Madaline, you got me spinning in my boots

Every whistle that you blow makes my heart give out the truth

Natalia’s gone and fallen for the girl who counts the beats

Madaline, Madaline, you’re the only song I need

Verse

We stayed late after practice, fixing flags in the wind

She laughed at my bad jokes, said I had a pretty grin

One night on the bleachers with the stars coming through

She reached for my hand and I knew what I had to do

Chorus

Madaline, Madaline, you got me spinning in my boots

Every whistle that you blow makes my heart give out the truth

Natalia’s gone and fallen for the girl who counts the beats

Madaline, Madaline, you’re the only song I need

Bridge

Ain’t no parade that could match the way she looks at me

No drumline rhythm ever felt this sweet and free

Chorus

Madaline, Madaline, you got me spinning in my boots

Every whistle that you blow makes my heart give out the truth

Natalia’s gone and fallen for the girl who counts the beats

Madaline, Madaline, you’re the only song I need

Outro

Madaline, Madaline

Yeah, Madaline
