Smell of the sweetgrass seems to carry on the breeze
Light of the moon
Washes through the windshield of the car
While we wonder what we are
We put a lot of miles on
Humming songs from the radio
We felt so free
Didn`t have no paticular place to go
Left our troubles down the road
Maggie I felt like the traps of the world
Were closing
Maggie I felt like we were going down
In flames
Maggie I took your hand
And we just started running
Maggie I wanted to live again
Watching a jet plane drawing lines across the sky
Think of the people
Do they know we`re just as high?
Somewhere down near the great divide
I`m feeling much stronger
The rush of the wind is like blood to me
Feeling you with me
Sharing all the colors of the things we see
Ain`t no place we have to be
Maggie I felt like the traps of the world
Were closing
Maggie I felt like we were going down
In flames
Maggie I took your hand
And we just started running
Maggie I wanted to live again
The dust is blowing
Up across old highway one
White-faced cattle, silhouetted by the sun
Dreaming of a man with a horse and gun
We`ve taken our chances with those drifting tumbleweeds
Taken our chances, til we found out what we need
Watch the waves break from the sea
Maggie I felt like the traps of the world
Were closing
Maggie I felt like we were going down
In flames
Maggie I took your hand
And we just started running
Maggie I wanted to live again
