Maggie Creek Road Lyrics - Keep On Loving You - Reba Mcentire

Mama stood on the front porch wringing her hands 

Watched the tail lights fading on his black Trans Am 

With her precious little baby taking off inside 

Staring at him with stars in her eyes 

She tried to tell her, but the girl might as well have been deaf 

She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said 

Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

With a boy looking like that 

He'll tell you things that you wanna hear 

And there'll be no turning back 

There's an oak tree down by the lake 

In the shade where the wild flowers grow 

What'll happen, only heaven knows 

So don't go down Maggie Creek Road

It was a still black night, as dark as cold 

Nobody heard her when she said "no" 

She kicked and screamed and got free somehow 

Tore her dress on the door when he pushed her out 

She walked 13 miles on the gravel road 

With tears in her eyes 20 years ago 

Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

With a boy looking like that 

He'll tell you things that you wanna hear 

And there'll be no turning back 

There's an oak tree down by the lake 

In the shade where the wild flowers grow 

What'll happen, only heaven knows 

So don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

Somehow mama's always known 

'Cause they shoulda been home an hour ago 

When she pulled up, it was just going down 

She turned her headlights off, didn't make a sound 

Photos 

She heard her baby cry "no," but he wouldn't stop 

Her heart went cold, and her blood ran hot 

With a pistol in her hand, she opened his door 

You don't wanna see mama go to war 

Don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

With a boy looking like that 

He'll tell you things that you wanna hear 

And there'll be no turning back 

There's an oak tree down by the lake 

In the shade where the wild flowers grow 

What'll happen, only heaven knows 

So don't go down 

I said, don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

Oh, don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

Oh, don't go down Maggie Creek Road 

Maggie Creek Road
