Sarah Jarosz - Maggie lyrics

Look away while you still can
Close your eyes
Say goodbye to this strange land
You never thought 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 echoes of
A dream gone wrong
And running through the fields that led
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
Go back home to your reckless dad
Maybe this time he'll convince you
That it's not so bad
But then you snapped back
Down from outer space
And stared into the rear view
Mirror at your face
Your swollen eyes and beaded sweat
Tattoos on your forehead and around your neck

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
