lyrics

No Thanks Maggie


Saw you outside of a bar, about half past ten,
you slurred the words, ‘let’s get together again’
then you started cryin’ about what might have been

your eyes are still green and your hair’s still red
but Maggie you look a little overfed
and these days I’m sleepin in another bed

no thanks Maggie
no thanks Maggie
no thanks Maggie I’m already spoken for

back in the day yeah we had us a time
drinking that whiskey and snorting them lines
but these day’s Maggie I’m doin fine

I know you got your memories that’s ok
I’m sorry that you think I left you astray
but we were skiddin’ sideways down a dark highway


one of these days and it won’t be long
I worry that you’re gonna take your swan song
yeah Maggie your head is still screwed on wrong


don’t you come knockin on my back door
you won’t find what you’re lookin’ for
cause I don’t even live there anymore
