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



[Chorus:]

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



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



[Chorus]



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



[Chorus]
