Maggie’s Dream Lyrics by Trisha Yearwood

Gentle Giants: The Songs of Don Williams

2017

[Verse 1]
Maggie's up each mornin' at 4 A.M
By five behind the counter at the diner
Her trucker friends out on the road will soon be stoppin' in
As the lights go on at Cafe Carolina

[Verse 2]
Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
The mountains around Asheville she's never seen the other side
And closer now to fifty than to forty

[Chorus]
Maggie's never had love
She says she's never had enough time
To let a man into her life
Oh but Maggie has a dream
She's had since she was 17
To find a husband
And be a wife

[Verse 3]
Maggie knows the truckers most by first name
What they'll have to say and what they'll order
And they take her in their stories to places far away
And then leave her with the dishes, dreams and quarters

[Chorus]
Maggie's never had love
She says she's never had enough time
To let a man into her life
Oh but Maggie has a dream
She's had since she was 17
To find a husband
And be a wife

[Bridge]
And she relies upon the jukebox
On the lonely afternoons
When the business starts to slow down
She plays the saddest tunes
She stares off down the highway
She wonders where it goes
With nobody to go home to
And it's almost time to close

[Outro]
And the lights go down at Cafe Carolina
