Musicbrainz DBYou don't like the sound of the truth
Comin' from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby there might be some
I'm gonna get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I dont think that I'm afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying
Chorus
Whoa, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
This time when he swung the bat
and i found my self laying flat
I wonder
What a way to spend a dime
what a way to use the time
Aint it baby?
I looked at my reflection
in the window walking past and I saw a stranger
Just so scared all the time
It makes me one more reason why
the world's dangerous
Chorus
(Music Solos)
You don't like the sound of the truth
coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Baby there might be some
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what your feeling in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
and always so far apart?
Chorus

| randyblew (Raleigh, NC) | Posted: Apr 23, 2013 - 06:23 Bravo! The Dixie Chicks are fantastic, talented, interesting people and artists. The album Taking the Long Way, produced by Rick Rubin, is wonderful stuff. I also recommend watching the doc Shut up and Sing, about their travails during the Iraq war. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of country music, but they have my praise. |
| colleen (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Apr 23, 2013 - 06:23 I agree Bill, jack up their rotation! It's nice to think free speech is still possible in some places :) |
| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Mar 22, 2013 - 18:53 LOVE hearing what Bill just said about "and that's reason enough for us to give them a spin from time to time here on RP..." Man, I really dig what this station is all about! |

Now that I've heard it, I can make the educated statement that I much prefer the original. I'm not really sure why the Dixie Chicks are so famous and successful when Patty Griffin is competing in the same market. Then again, perhaps it's not the same market at all... It's the way Patty wants it.....she is a world known singer/songwriter with none of the crap that goes with being a superstar in this crazy world. She has a HUGE worldwide following and yet can roam the streets of Austin (with hubby Mr Plant) and not be harassed. |

| scraig (Santa Barbara, CA) | Posted: Dec 18, 2012 - 16:27 I am surprised. Their enthusiasm is infectious. I guess I do like Green Eggs and Ham. 6. |

| curtkare | Posted: Oct 12, 2006 - 21:24 It never really occurred to me to give the Chicks a listen until the whole "same state as George Bush" thing blew up. It appears the Chicks haven't come across the RP stream for quite some time now. I got ahold of Wide Open Spaces and Home recently. Spaces was nice - it's supposed to be mainstream, accessible, etc. and it is. I gave it a listen, and set it aside. Home has captured my imagination - it's got purity and musical virtuosity - likely due to the band's wish to chuck commercial and do their own thing. I still get all verklempt at "Travelin' Soldier". "A Home" is a beautiful as anything on kd lang's Ingenue. No the ideas expressed aren't super sophisticated - it's COUNTRY after all, but I gotta say, I really dig the Chicks on this one. |

| 9-volt (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Jul 18, 2003 - 08:21 not a fan of the chicks, but i applaud them for speaking there mind. the fact that mega-corporate radio media banned them from hundreds of radio stations sends a scary message to people: don't dis dubya or we will hurt your business. Yet another reason why consolidation of radio is bad and radio paradise is awesome. here's a great article on it: web page |

good for them! but the truth is out and the chips will fall here and there- who cares! i never liked this group or country (pop) music. their statements just solidified my opinion. i don't care if they walk down my street naked- let alone a airbrushed mag.cover.  The sad thing is that I read the comments on this *just* to see what you had to say...  |

Relayer: If you actually pause, listen to the music, you may realize that the Dixie Chicks are not country at all. They are blue-grass fused with rock. If you actually think to research it, you may realize that two of the songs on their latest alblum were written by Patti Griffin (including this one), a singer-songwriter who is widely appreciated by people who enjoy eclectic and intelligent music. When record companies decide to support decent musicians, we should be happy. |
| returnthis (Secret Hideaway) | Posted: Jul 11, 2003 - 18:14 sucky horribly evil country does NOT belong on a rock station. Please for the love of god stop playing this crap. |
| greentrain (Oakland, CA) | Posted: Jul 11, 2003 - 18:12 Dixie Chicks are talented, authentic and truly human. We should hear them more here since corporate American radio won't play music by people with brains. |

at the top of my lungs. Bad idea. What if an ambulance zoomed through? There could be a crash. What if GWB 
were in the ambulance? And the last song in his ears was.... the Dixie Chicks!
