Blues for Maggie
I found some tracks
Out behind my house
A sure fire sign
There’s wildlife about
You call Steve
And I’ll call Jeff
There’s something out there
That scares me to death
OK I lied
I’m not all that scared
It’s just Maggie
With her teeth all bared
I’ve been busy
She’s been bored
Now she’s gone feral
Out in my back yard
Chorus:
There’s something wild
Behind those trees
Is that my best friend
Or a feral beast
She used to let me pet her
We had a ball
Now she won’t come
No matter how much I call
When it gets dark
She begins to howl
Calling my name
With a throaty growl
I know she’s pissed
What should I do
Neighbors are calling
And it’s almost two
I go outside
Shine my flashlight
All I can see
Are two silver eyes
Out there in the dark
There is no doubt
She’s got me cornered
And there’s no way out
Chorus:
There’s something wild
Behind those trees
Is that my best friend
Or a feral beast
She used to let me pet her
We had a ball
Now she won’t come
No matter how much I call
