Maggie's Dream (song)

"Maggie's Dream" is a song written by Dave Loggins and Lisa Silver, and recorded by American country music artist Don Williams.

The song reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

The song is about a waitress named Maggie, who has been single her entire life.

On the surface, she seems content in her job as a truckstop waitress, having made many friendships with the truck drivers that have been customers through the years.

Deep down she is lonely, having never had a true love, and dreams one day of becoming a wife and traveling beyond the mountains around Asheville (which an omniscient observer notes "she's never seen the other side), and takes solace in playing sad songs on the jukebox.
