[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Maggie's up each
morning at [G]four am
[D]By five at the counter at the [G]diner
Her [D]trucker friends out on the
road will [G]soon be stoppin in
As [C]the lights go on [G]at Cafe Car[A]olina
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Maggie's been a waitress
here most [G]all her life
[D]Thirty years of coffee cups and [G]sore feet
The [D]mountains around Ashville she's
never [G]seen the other side
[C]Closer now [G]to fifty than to [A]forty
[D]

[Verse 3]
Maggie's [G]never had a love
She [D]said she's never had enough
[Em]Time to [A]let a man into [D]her life
Aw but [G]Maggie has a dream

To [Em]find a [A]husband [D]and be

a wife

[Verse 4]
[D]Maggie knows the truckers most
[G]by first name
[D]What they'll have to say

And they take [D]her in their
stories to [G]places far away
And [C]leave her with [G]the dishes,
dreams and [A]quarters

[Verse 5]
And she re[Am]lies upon the jukebox
on the lonely afternoon
When the busi[G]ness starts to slow
down she plays the saddest tunes
And [C]she stares off down the high[G]way
and she won[C]ders where [G]it goes
[Em]Nobody to go home to and it's [A]almost time
