Maggie's up each morning at four am
G C
By five behind the counter at the diner
G C
And her trucker friends out on the road will soon be stopping in
F C D7 G
As the lights go on at Cafe Carol-ina
G C
Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
G C
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
G C
The mountains around Ashville she's never seen the other side
F C D7 G
And closer now to fifty than to for-ty
[Chorus]
C G
Maggie's never had a love she said she's never had enough
C D7 G C
Time to let a man into her life aw but Maggie has a dream
G C D7 G
She's had since she was seventeen to find a husband and be a wife
[Verse]
G C
Maggie knows the truckers most by first name
G C
What they'll have to say and what they'll order
G C
And they take her in their stories to places far away
F C D7 G
And then leave her with the dishes dreams and quar-ters
[Chorus]
C G
Maggie's never had a love she said she's never had enough
C D7 G C
Time to let a man into her life aw but Maggie has a dream
G C D7 G
She's had since she was seventeen to find a husband and be a wife
Dm
And she relies upon the jukebox on the lonely afternoon
C
But when the business starts to slow down she plays the saddest tunes
F C F C
And she stares off down the highway and she wonders where it goes
D7
Nobody to go home to and it's almost time to close
