Maggies Song

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Run Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child     Oh run Maggie run Be just as free as you are   wild   [Verse 2] 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   [Chorus] Run Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child     Oh run Maggie run Be just as free as you are   wild    [Interlude] |       |       |       |        | [Verse 3] 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    [Chorus] Run Maggie run With the heart of a rebel child     Oh run Maggie run Be just as free as you are   wild [Verse 4] 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    [Chorus] 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
