|
Mama stood on the front porch ringing her hands
|
Watched the taillights fading on his black TransAM
|
With her precious little baby taking off inside
|
Staring at him with stars in her eyes
|
She tried to tell her but the girl might as well have been deaf
|
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road
|
With a boy lookin' like that
|
He'll tell you things that you wanna hear
|
And there'll be no turnin' back
|
There's an oak tree down by the lake
|
In the shade where the wild flowers grow
|
What will happen only heaven knows
|
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road
|
|
It was a still black night dark is coal
|
Nobody heard her when she said no
|
She kicked and screamed and got free somehow
|
Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out
|
She walked thirteen miles on the gravel road
|
With tears in her eyes
|
Twenty years ago
|
|
Repeat Chorus:
|
|
Somehow mama's always know
|
Cause they should have been home an hour ago
|
When she pulled up it was just going down
|
She turned her headlights off didn't make a sound
|
She heard her baby cry no but he wouldn't stop
|
Her heart went cold and her blood ran hot
|
With a pistol in her hand she opened his door
|
You don't wanna see mama go to war
|
|
Repeat Chorus:
|
|
I said don't go down Maggie Creed Road
|
Oh don't go down Maggie Creek Road
|
Oh don't go down Maggie Creek Road
|
Maggie Creek Road
