[Verse 1]
I try to get up, but I got knocked down, oh no
And something's holding me down so low
And if these chains would only let me go
Like a river, I'd run, like a river, I'd flow
At least I've got Maggie, yeah, she's good to me
Sweet like honey from the bee
Gives me every little thing I need
Stitches me up any time I bleed
[Chorus]
She's the only one to give this lonely heart
A little light in dark
She's an old friend, I'll stick with her to the end
And if she don't mind, I hopе she'll be mine
And I'll bе her man
[Verse 2]
Maggie should have seen me go
When I was young and not so slow
You should have seen me way before
This old dog made his home on the floor
With a bottle of pills and a head so sore
Yeah, I'm tired now, oh, so goddamn tired
All the time, got no peace of mind
Let me just rest my wary eyes on your smile
Even if it's just for a little while
[Chorus]
She's the only one to give this lonely heart
A little light in dark
She's an old friend, I'll stick with her to the end
And if she don't mind, I hope she'll be mine
And I'll be her man
