Fred Eaglesmith Maggie & Me
I'm so tired of this old boom town and everything it stands for
I'm so tired of just hanging around when there ain't no reasons anymore
The golds dried up and the whiskeys disappeared
And everybody's heading up north
Except for me and Maggie and she's made it pretty clear
I'm gonna have to make a choice
And everybody's gonna sing along with the preacher
When he comes into town next week
Everybody's gonna listen to those things he teachеs
Everybody's gonna believе
Especially Maggie and Me
I saw Billy Daniels out on the street he said that he's had enough
He says he's gonna be down on his knees the next time the preacher comes
And I'm not sure but I think it's for the better
I guess I've known it all along
No I'm not sure and I ain't seen it yet
But its better than nothing at all
Well Katie said that she was sad but she was glad for Maggie and me
And she hoped everything went just as planed and we were as happy as can be
Then she kicked off her dress and she kissed me again
And I don't know if she could see
There were tears in my eyes as I held her tight
And I felt that I'd been set free
