Mama stood on the front porch ringin' her hands Watched the tail lights fadin' on his black tranzam 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 Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy lookin' like that He'll tell ya thangs that you wanna hear And they'll be no turnin' 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 Was a still 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 Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy lookin' like that He'll tell ya thangs that you wanna hear And they'll be no turnin' 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 Somehow mama's always know Cause they shoulda 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 wanna see mama go to war Don't go down Maggie Creek Road With a boy lookin' like that He'll tell ya thangs that you wanna hear And they'll be no turnin' 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 Don't go down Maggie Creek Road Maggie Creek Road
