Chris Stapleton’s new album “Starting Over” dropped Friday, and it includes the tune “Maggie’s Song,” which is a tribute to Chris' dog, who passed away in 2019 at 14.
"Every word and every stitch of that song is real things," Stapleton tells the “The Tennessean.” "She was a member of the family, and she deserved a song." Here's some of the lyrics and then the song below.
Let me tell you a story
About an old friend of mine
Somebody left her in a shopping cart
In a parking lot for us to find
Just a fuzzy black pup
She was hungry and feeling alone
We put her in the back seat
And told her we were taking her home
[Chorus]
Run, Maggie run
With the heart of a rebel child
Oh, run, Maggie run
Be just as free as you are wild
