[Verse 1]

Some days when the hot stays

You walk down to Maggie's place

'Cause she sells the load

All the things that you can't grow

[Verse 2]

Like the cans, bags, tins, and smokes

All the pull-tabs and OTC rolls

What'd you go down the mountain for?

Was it them or Maggie?

[Verse 3]

Some days when the floor is cold

You go knocking on Maggie's door

Saying, "Can I buy a half-cord?

I know I should have planned the season"

[Verse 4]

She inherited from her pa

We all know why she feels so small

And you want nothing more than to help her

So just get the job

[Chorus]

You ain't gonna work on the line no more

You're gonna work at Maggie's store

Yеah, you ain't gonna work on the line no more

You'rе gonna work for Maggie, yeah

[Verse 5]

You're gonna stock, bag, shelve, and load

You're gonna do everything you're told

I still remember you walking down the mountain

With that gateleg you built her

[Verse 6]

'Cause you remembered that the car was propped

Up on cinders at Jerry's lot

He can't put it back together

But, boy, he can take it apart

[Verse 7]

Helped with haunching back in spring

Had the car then and it was running

But like the car or the false dawn, Maggie

I keep thinking that you're gonna break

[Chorus]

You ain't gonna work on the line no more

You're gonna work at Maggie's store

Yeah, you ain't gonna work on the line no more

You're gonna work for Maggie

You ain't gonna work on the line no more

You're gonna work at Maggie's store

Yeah, you ain't gonna work on the line no more

You're gonna work for Maggie, yeah
