Smell of the sweetgrass seems to carry on the breeze

Light of the moon

Washes through the windshield of the car

While we wonder what we are

We put a lot of miles on

Humming songs from the radio

We felt so free

Didn't have no paticular place to go

Left our troubles down the road



Maggie I felt like the traps of the world

Were closing

Maggie I felt like we were going down

In flames

Maggie I took your hand

And we just started running

Maggie I wanted to live again



Watching a jet plane drawing lines across the sky

Think of the people

Do they know we're just as high?

Somewhere down near the great divide

I'm feeling much stronger

The rush of the wind is like blood to me

Feeling you with me

Sharing all the colors of the things we see

Ain't no place we have to be



Maggie I felt like the traps of the world

Were closing

Maggie I felt like we were going down

In flames

Maggie I took your hand

And we just started running

Maggie I wanted to live again



The dust is blowing

Up across old highway one

White-faced cattle, silhouetted by the sun

Dreaming of a man with a horse and gun

We've taken our chances with those drifting tumbleweeds

Taken our chances, til we found out what we need

Watch the waves break from the sea



Maggie I felt like the traps of the world

Were closing

Maggie I felt like we were going down

In flames

Maggie I took your hand

And we just started running

Maggie I wanted to live again
