Dixie Chicks Lyrics for
"Fly"
Ready To Run
When the train rolls by
I'm gonna be ready this time
When the boy gets that look in his eyes
I'm gonna be ready this time
When my momma says I look good in white
I'm gonna be ready this time
Chorus: Oh yeah
Ready ready ready ready ready to run
All I'm ready to do is have some fun
What's all this talk about love
I feel the wind blow through my hair
I'm gonna be ready this time
I'll buy a ticket to anywhere
I'm gonna be ready this time
You see it feels like I'm starting to care
And I'm gonna be ready this time
Chorus
I'm ready to run...I'm ready to run
oh
ready ready ready ready ready to run
what's all this talk about love
...I'm ready to run
...I'm ready to run
...I'm ready to run
i'm ready to run... ready to run
ready to run...yeah I'm ready to run...I'm ready
Whoa I ready to run..I'm ready...I'm ready to run...
I'm ready oh I'm ready to run...I'm ready
If I fall You're Going Down With Me
Was it the pull of the moon now baby
That led to you to my door
You say the nights got you acting crazy
I think it's something more
I never felt the earth move honey
Until you shook my tree
Nobody runs from the law now baby
Of love and gravity so strong
Baby you gotta hold on
If I fall you're going down with me
You're going down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you gave me
You're going down with me baby heart and all ooh yea
We're hanging right on the edge now baby
The wind is getting stronger
We're hanging by a thread now honey
We can't hold on much longer
It's a long way down but it's too late
If I fall you're going down with me
You're going down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you gave me
You're going down with me baby heart and all
Ooh baby I can't get any higher
This time I'm willing to dance on the wire
If I fall ...If I fall
'Cause if I fall you're going down with me
You're going down with me baby if I fall
You can't take back every little chill you gave me
You're going down with me baby heart and all
If I fall...If I fall...oh yeah
Cowboy Take Me Away
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it with my hands
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of bluebonnets
In a blanket made of stars
Oh it sounds good to me I said
chorus:
Cowboy take me away
Fly this girl as high as you can
Into the wild blue
Set me free oh I pray
Closer to heaven above and closer to you
closer to you
I wanna walk not run
I wanna skin and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall
I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except maybe for you
And your simple smile
Oh it sounds good to me
Yeah it sounds good to me
Oh it sounds good to me I said
chorus
I said I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something
wild and unruly
Oh it sounds so good to me
chorus
Cold Day In July
Sun's comin' up comin' up down on main street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away (2X)
You said that we were gonna last forever
You said out love would never die
IT looks like spring
And it feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in July
Oh Sun's comin' up comin' up
Down on main street
children shout as they're running out to play
whoa head in my hands
here i am standing in my bare feet
watching you drive away
watching you drive away
the moon is full and my arms are empty
all night long how i've pleaded and cried
you always said the day that
you would leave me
would be a cold day in july
here comes that cold day in july
oh yeah oh yeah
lada da la da da la da da
oh ooo
Goodbye Earl
Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
all through their high school days
both members of the 4h club
both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went lookin'
for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
and all she found was Earl
Well it wasn't two weeks
after she got married that Wanda started gettin' abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeve blouses
and makeup to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
she let the law take it from there
But Earl walked through that restraining order
and put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as they worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die
Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me Earl
You're feelin' weak
Why don't you lay down and sleep Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl
The cops came by to bring Earl in
They searched the house high and low
Then they tipped their hats
and said thank you ladies
if you hear from here let us know
Well the weeks went by and Spring turned to Summer
and Summer faded into Fall
Ad it turns out he was a missing person
who nobody missed at all
So the girls bought some land
and a roadside stand
Out on highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham
and strawberry jam
and they don't lose any sleep at night 'cause
Earl had to die
Goodbye Eark
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch
and stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right
Good let's go for a ride
Earl hey
Hello Mr. Heartache
Hello Mr. Heartache Ive been expecting you
Come in and wear your welcome out
They way you always do
You never say if youre here to stay
or only passing through
so hello Mr. Heartache
Ive been expecting you
when I dont feel like company
you make yourself at home
even though you know
id rather be alone
love walked out on me
and didnt even close the door
next thing I know Im starin
at your shadow on the floor
chorus: so hello Mr. Heartache
Ive been expecting you
come in and wear your welcome out
the way you always do
you never said if youre here to stay
or only passing through
so hello Mr. heartache
Ive been expecting you
I wish I could say its nice
to see you back again
were not exactly strangers
but were not exactly friends
you know youre not invited but
you keep on comin round
the last thing that I need it you
to kick me when Im down
chorus
Ive been expecting you (3x)
Dont Waste Your Heart
For the life of me I cant believe
That youre on your knees beggin please
All the pushin away and puttin down
Cant you see youre gettin the run around
Oh its plain to see youd rescue me
From my loneliness so called unhappiness
Oh I didnt mean to cause you pain
Ive got nothin to lose and nothin to gain
And dont waste your heart on a wild thing
Shes got a soul that wont settle on one thing
Whoa this bird cant sing when youve tied its wings
Dont waste your heart on me
Its funny how the girls get burned
And honest as far as Im concerned
The tables have turned
And dont waste you heart on a wild thing
Shes got a soul that wont settle on one thing
Whoa this bird cant sing when youve tied its wings
Dont waste your heart on me
And Im here to apologize
My heart cant compromise
Dont waste your heart on me
Sin Wagon
He pushed me round now Im drawin the line
He lived his life now Im gonna go live mine
Im sick of wastin my time
Well now Ive been good for way too long
Found my red dress and Im gonna throw it on
Bout to get too far gone
chorus: Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition
One more helpin of what Ive been havin
Im takin my turn on the sin wagon
On a mission make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin
Thats right I said mattress dancin
chorus
When its my turn to march up to glory
Im gonna have one hell of a story
Thats if he forgives me
Oh Lord please forgive me
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of that sweet salvation
They may take me with my feet draggin
But Ill fly away on a sin wagon
Ill fly away on a sin wagon
Without You
Ive sure enjoyed the rainbow Im looking forward to
the sun
You have to feel the pain when you lose the love you gave someone
I though by now the time would take away these lonely tests
I hope youre doing fin all alone but where do I go from
here cause
chorus: Without you Im not okay and without you
Ive lost my way
My hearts stuck in second place ooh
Without you
Well I never through Id be lying here without you by my
side
It seems unreal to me that
the life you promised was a life
You made it look so east
making love into memories
I guess you got what you wanted
but what about me cause
chorus
Somebody tell my head to try to tell my heart
that Im better off without you
cause baby I cant live
without you Im not okay
And without you Ive lost my way
My hearts stuck in second place ooh
Without you Without you
Some Days You Gotta Dance
It was about five til five on Friday
we were all getting ready to go
and the boss man started screaming
and his veins began to show
he said you and you come with me
cause youre gonna have to stay
my heart was thumping I was jumping
I had to get away
some days you gotta dance
live it up what you get the chance
cause when the world doesnt make no sense
and youre feeling just a little too tense
got loosen up those chains and dance
well I was talking with my baby
over a small glass of tea
he asked the loaded question
he said how of you feel about me
my mind was racin I was pacin
but the words just wouldnt come
and there was one one thing
left to do I feel it comin on
some days you gotta dance
live it up what you get the chance
cause when the world doesnt make no sense
and youre feeling just a little too tense
gotta loosen up those chains and dance a ha
(2X)
you gotta loosen up those chains and dance
come one and loosen up those chains and dance.
Hole in My Head
Hole in my hear (2X)
Oh I need a boy like you like a hole in my hear
I need a boy like you like a hole in my hear
You make me feel so bad that I wish I was dead
Let the games begin
Yeah here I go again
Im never gonna win
It must have knocked me crazy it must have hit me hard
People must think Im lazy
Like my shuffles short of a playing card
Wild goose chase (2X)
Oh I need a boy like you like a wild goose chase
I need a boy like you like a wild goose chase
You better find somebody to take my place
Let the games begin
Yeah here I go again
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you )
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you )
I need a boy like you
Like a hole in my head
Hole in my head (4X)
Like a hole in my head
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you )
I need a boy like you (I need a boy like you )
Heartbreak Town
Hugged your friends
Kissed your mama goodbye
Baby in your arms and a tear in your eye
Twelve hundred miles and you never asked why from me
Me and the baby and you side by side
We all knew we was in for a long hard ride
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide it seemed
We honked the horn when we crossed the state line
Wake up the baby and she started to cry
She mustve known what we were going to find
This aint nothin but a Heartbreak town
Square people in a world thats round
And they watch you dancin without a sound
It aint nothin no nothin
You take your number and you stand in line
And they watch to see how high youre gonna climb
Pat on the back n better luck next time
It aint nothin no it aint nothin but a
heartbreak town
stardust well its a funny thing
it can make you cuss
it can make you sing
and the need to touch it gets hard to explain some days
Ive seen em rise
Ive seen em fall
some get nothin and lord some get it all
some just run while others crawl away
hold my hand baby dont let go
Ive got some front money
and Ive got a next show
and Im gonna need you down this yellow brick road
This aint nothin but a Heartbreak town
Square people in a world thats round
And they watch you dancin without a sound
It aint nothin no nothin
You take your number and you stand in line
And they watch to see how high youre gonna climb
Pat on the back n better luck next time
It aint nothin no it aint nothin but a
heartbreak town
but a heart break town
town
heartbreak town
Let Him Fly
Aint no talkin to this man
Aint no pretty other side
Aint no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly
Things can more at such a pace
The second hand just waved goodbye
You know the light has left his face
But you cant recall just where or why
So there was really nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said Im gonna let him fly
Oh yeah
Theres not mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
Its no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
you though before it moves away- yeah
But you must always know how long to stay and when to go
And there aint no talkin to this man
Hes been trying to tell me so
It took a while to understand
The beauty of just letting to
cause it would take an acrobat n
I already tried all that
Im gonna let him fly - fly (3x)
