Maggie McCall - Sandi Thom

I knew a girl named Maggie McCall

All her life she was ready to fall

She was a hard lost shadow on the wall

She said she had an ice cold heart

But when it was young it was torn apart

By a mean old son of a bitch

Oh and how it changed her

Lost forever… and now

She’s one foot in the grave

She stole a car up in Tucson

She crossed the borderline

They caught her up in Oklahoma

Now she’s doing time

She’s doing time

The night he drove her to the edge

She found her grip but lost her head

She’d been held down beaten black and blue

He walked with fury and lived with sin

He’s done it before and he’ll do it again

She knew exactly what to do

And like a cloud that has no silver lining

The thunder never ever gives in

She stole a car up in Tucson

Now she crossed the line

They caught her up in Oklahoma

Now she’s paying for her crime

She got the chair up in Tucson

Not a tear was cried

The good will always fall

Here lies Maggie McCall

Everyone thought that she killed that man

They didn’t need to see the blood on her hands

As sure as the red sun will fall

It didn’t take the judge too much time

He read out the verdict and looked her in the eye

And what he saw spread fear across his soul

And now she’s 6 feet under

They say you can hear the wind

Howl her name…

She stole a car up in Tucson

She crossed the borderline

They caught her up in Oklahoma

Now she’s paying for her crime

She got the chair up in Tucson

Not a tear was cried

You know its written on the wall

Here lies Maggie McCall

She’s just a shadow in the wall

Here lies Maggie McCall

Oh the good will always fall

So here lies Maggie McCall
