Maggie's Song

歌詞

Let me tell you a story About an old friend of mine Somebody left her in a shopping cart In a parking lot for us to find Just a fuzzy black pup She was hungry and feeling alone We put her in the back seat And told her we were taking her home Run, Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child Oh, run, Maggie run Be just as free as you are wild A few kids later We moved out on the farm And she followed those kids around Yeah, she kept them safe from harm And she loved to chase squirrels And playing out in the snow She'd take off like a bullet Man, you should have seen her go Run, Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child Oh, run, Maggie run Be just as free as you are wild It was raining on a Monday The day that Maggie died She woke up and couldn't use her legs So I laid down by her side She put her head on my hand Like she'd done so many times I told her she was a good dog Then I told her goodbye Run, Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child Oh, run, Maggie run Be just as free as you are wild I had a revelation As the tractor dug a hole I can tell you right now That a dog has a soul And I thought to myself As we buried her on the hill I never knew me a better dog And I guess I never will Run, Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child Oh, run, Maggie run Be just as free as you are wild Oh, run, Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child Oh, run, Maggie run Be just as free as you are wild
