Edwin McCain Maggie May song lyrics

Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you.

It's late September and I really should be back at school.

I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used.

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.

You led me away from home just to save you from being alone.

You stole my heart and that's what really hurts.

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age

But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything.

I laughed at all of your jokes - my love you didn't need to coax.

Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.

You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without.

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand

But you turned into a lover

And mother what a lover, you wore me out.

All you did was wreck my bed

And in the morning kick me in the head.

Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.

You led me away from home cause you didn't wanna be alone

You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.

(Really long Guitar Improv Bit)

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school.

Or steal my daddy's cue - make a living out of playing pool.

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand.

Oh Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face.

You made a first class fool out of me

But I'm as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.

(guitar bit again, this time with mandolins too!)

Maggie I wished I'd never seen your face

I'll get on back home one of these days

(a few whoo hoos...)
