Song lyrics

Let me tell you a story
About an old friend of mine,
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
In a parking lot for us to find,
Just a fuzzy black pup,
She was hungry and feeling alone,
We put her in the back seat
And told her we were taking her home.

Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child!
Oh, run, Maggie, run,
Be just as free as you are wild!

A few kids later
We moved out on the farm,
And she followed those kids around,
She kept them safe from harm,
And she loved to chase squirrels
And playing out in the snow,
She'd take off like a bullet,
Man, you should have seen her go!

Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child!
Oh, run, Maggie, run,
Be just as free as you are wild!

It was raining on a Monday
The day that Maggie died,
She woke up and couldn't use her legs
So I laid down by her side,
She put her head on my hand
Like she'd done so many times,
I told her she was a good dog
Then I told her goodbye.

Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child!
Oh, run, Maggie, run,
Be just as free as you are wild!

I had a revelation as the tractor dug a hole,
I can tell you right now that a dog has a soul,
And I thought to myself as we buried her on the hill,
I never knew me a better dog and I guess I never will.

Run, Maggie, run
With the heart of a rebel child!
Oh, run, Maggie, run,
Be just as free as you are wild!
