Maggie
Look away while you still can
Close your eyes, say goodbye to this strange thing
You never taught you had it good
And high school was just football games and processed food
You've been picking through the weeds too long
Surrounded by the echos of the dream going wrong
And running through the fields that lead
To nothing but a song you're singing in your head
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
You got 90 miles out of town
When you started thinking
You should turn the car around
And go back home to your reckless dad
Maybe this time he'll convince you it's not so bad
But then you stand back down from outer space
And stared into the rear-view mirror at your face
And slowly ask, beat it's sweats
Tattoos on your forehead and a random pick
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
Maggie, are you listening in your blue Ford Escape?
Hopefully your car will live up to it's name
Close your eyes, say goodbye to this strange thing
You never taught you had it good
And high school was just football games and processed food
You've been picking through the weeds too long
Surrounded by the echos of the dream going wrong
And running through the fields that lead
To nothing but a song you're singing in your head
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
You got 90 miles out of town
When you started thinking
You should turn the car around
And go back home to your reckless dad
Maybe this time he'll convince you it's not so bad
But then you stand back down from outer space
And stared into the rear-view mirror at your face
And slowly ask, beat it's sweats
Tattoos on your forehead and a random pick
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
Hopefully this car will live up to it's name
Maggie, are you listening in your blue Ford Escape?
Hopefully your car will live up to it's name
