Dixie Chicks - Top of the World Lyrics

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood
Where you would have been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singin'
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
Top of the world

I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no God to
Teach me no lessons
I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair

There's a whole lot of singin'
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now

I wished I'da known you
Wished I'da shown you
All of the things I
Was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why

'Cause everyone's singin'
We just want to be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Want to grab a hold
Of that little songbird
Take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
