about

Maggie (If You’d Like to Stay): Approximately 2,000 dogs are kept in chains. This is the story of a dog rescued from that fate.

lyrics

Maggie (If You'd Like to Stay)

I found her on my lawn out in the rain.
Her hair was matted down, she was whimpering in pain.
She was feather light. She was so bone tired
she didn’t even notice when I laid her by my fire.

I called her Maggie, yeah Maggie, I don’t know where you been.
Maggie, yeah Maggie, looks like you could use a friend,
and if you’d like to stay, you can.

She ate my food but would not let me near.
She growled down in her throat, laid back her ears.
So I gave her space and I gave her time.
One day she wagged her tail - laid her head upon my thigh.

I called her Maggie, yeah Maggie, I don’t know where you been.
Maggie, yeah Maggie, looks like you could use a friend,
and if you’d like to stay, you can.

I’d like to find the ones who think it’s funny
to chain a dog and leave her starve out in the rain.
I’d like to look ‘em in the eye, have a chance to say,
“Did you know she nearly broke her neck, tryin’ to get away?”

Every day she babysits my son.
That’s a job I don’t give to just anyone.
But I know she’s bred to guard and take care of
those that need protection, those that give her love.

I called her Maggie, yeah Maggie, I don’t know where you been.
Maggie, yeah Maggie, looks like you could use a friend,
And if you’d like to stay,
well, Maggie, oh Maggie, if you’d like to stay, you can.
