O' Maggie

Maggie takes the rum from her bag
And slides it through the bars
She's thinking about the letters in the box
Buried in the yard
She don't ever want his kindness
She don't want the shame
No, maggie takes the high road
And looks the other way
She met him on a city bus
Bloodstains on his hands
Now he calls these pale prison walls
The home they never had
She's just passing on her way. a satellite
But she was waiting downtown.
She said she waited all night
O' maggie may. o' maggie
Take as much as you can drink
Then put the rest away
I won't have to think about the pain
If you come home today
And he says 'you talk about leaving
But it ain't that different to say
That i could tear these walls down o' maggie may
It's raining inside of maggie and me
Rain as high as the river is deep
Dream don't worry about the weather
Rain in the san antonio streets
It's raining inside of maggie and me
As high as she's deep
