She's had since she was seventeen
The mountains around Asheville
She's never seen the other side
To find a husband and be a wife
Time to let a man into her life
An' her trucker friends are on the road
Who soon be stoppin' in
Maggie's never had a love
And she stares off down the highway and she wonders where it goes
What they'll have to say and what they'll order
She says, she's never had enough
Maggie knows the truckers most by first name
She's had since she was seventeen
Maggie's never had a love
An' closer now to fifty than to forty
To find a husband and be a wife
She says, she's never had enough
As the lights go on at Cafe Carolina
And they take her in their stories to places far away
Time to let a man into her life
Oh, but Maggie has a dream
An' she relies upon the jukebox on the lonely afternoon
When the business starts to slow down, she plays the saddest tunes
Oh, but Maggie has a dream
And then leave her with the dishes, dreams and quarters
Thirty years of coffee cups and sore feet
Maggie's been a waitress here most all her life
