Intro: Em Am  Em D  Em Am  Em D 

     C                                          Em 
Mama stood on the front porch ringing her hands 
            C                                        Em 
Watched the tail lights fading on his black Trans Am 
         C                                      Em 
With her precious little baby taking off inside 
C                                     Em 
Staring at him with stars in her eyes 
             C                                                   Em 
She tried to tell her, but the girl might as well have been deaf 
    C                                       Em 
She wasn't gonna listen to a word she said 



              G            Am   Em 
Don't go down Maggie Creek Road  
           C            D    Em 
With a boy looking like that  
                              G     Am   Em 
He'll tell ya things that you wanna hear 
                   C       D    Em 
And there'll be no turning back 
                    G           Am   Em 
There's an oak tree down by the lake  
                       C    D            Em 
In the shade where the wild flowers grow  
                    G      Am 
What'll happen only heaven knows 
   C        B7                Em 
So don't go down Maggie Creek Road
