Reba McEntire — Maggie Creek Road

[Verse 1] Mama stood on the front porch ringing her hands Watched the tail lights fading on his black Trans Am 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 going to listen to a word she said [Chorus] Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy looking like that He'll tell you things that you want to hear And there'll be no turning back There's an oak tree down by the lake In the shade where the wild flowers grow What'll happen only heaven knows So don't go down Maggie Creek Road Don't go down Maggie Creek Road [Verse 2] Was a steel black night as dark is cold 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 13 miles on the gravel road With tears in her eyes 20 years ago [Chorus] Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy looking like that He'll tell you things that you want to hear And there'll be no turning back There's an oak tree down by the lake In the shade where the wild flowers grow What'll happen only heaven knows So don't go down Maggie Creek Road Don't go down Maggie Creek Road [Verse 3] Somehow mamas 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 crying 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 want to see mama go to war [Chorus] Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy looking like that He'll tell you things that you want to hear And there'll be no turning back There's an oak tree down by the lake In the shade where the wild flowers grow What'll happen only heaven knows So don't go down, I said don't go down Maggie Creek Road [Outro] Oh, don't go down Maggie Creek Road Oh, don't go down Maggie Creek Road Maggie Creek Road
