about

The first track on Side B of Tennessee Stiffs' new album "Thirty Pieces", this track showcases the softer side of the Stiffs. It's a fun tune about a girl who longs to get away, meets the man of her dreams, and finds the courage in herself to follow her heart.

lyrics

Maggie was a waitress at a diner on 79
Right next to nowhere, nestled in the pines
She always dreamed of runnin' off to somewhere
Always somethin' more for her to find

The clock above the counter was steady keepin' time
Just mockin' ole Maggie with every passin' chime
When a tall, dark cowboy strolls in from the highway
Maggie senses something stir inside

Me and you gonna rendezvous
Kick out and light the fuse
I got a tank of gas, a bag of grass
And some good ole rhythm and blues
We may not have too much of nothin'
But tonight we have it all
Get up out the kitchen now what you been missin'
Is the free fall, listen to your heart callin'
Come on now

Danny was a looker with a penchant for the bold
He had a nasty reputation and a tarnished heart of gold
Some drivin' force compelled him there to Maggie
And he knew right there he'd never let her go

He told her fear is for the livin' and faith is for the dyin'
It's like swimmin' for the shore while the tide keeps a risin'
Before you know, the water's come to claim you
But salvation finds you, and Maggie is her name

Because me and you got a rendezvous
Kick out and light the fuse
I got a tank of gas, a big bag of grass
And some good ole rhythm and blues
Well we may not have too much of nothin'
But tonight we have it all
Get up out the kitchen, now what you been missin'
Is the free fall, listen to your heart callin'
Come on now

Never goin' back to that diner on 79

Me and you got a rendezvous
Kick out and light the fuse
I got a tank of gas, a big bag of grass
And some good ole rhythm and blues
Well we may not have too much of nothin'
But tonight we have it all
Get up out the kitchen, now what you been missin'
Is the free fall, listen to your heart callin'
Come on now
