top of the world
was gonna do some tax problems at work last night, and i was pretty sure there was nothing good on tv on a friday, so i needed something to listen to after doing all my reports and while doing homework. decided to buy a dixie chicks cd.
was going to get home but then i saw the top of the world tour, dixie chicks, live, 2 cds, live performances of the best songs over the years, for the same price.
only set back is they don't have you were mine in the cd, which is okay since it wasn't in the home album anyway.
t'was a fun concert! they started with goodbye earl and the first image in my head is dennis franz dead in a swamp! another fun song is long time gone, now that song IS country. and i loooove travelin' soldier, it's kinda a tear jerker. it's about this young guy, barely 18 who had to go to 'nam. he met this girl in a diner, he asked if he could write letters to her since he's got no one to write to. the young girl said ok, and she "cried / Never gonna hold the hand of another guy / Too young for him they told her / Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier" but she was all happy since she there was some sort of an announcement about a soldier coming home. later on, in a baseball game, the announcer asked everybody to bow their heads for the death of a young soldier, and people really didn't care "but a pretty little girl with bow in her hair." lungkot no?
another feel good song in the cd is cowboy take me away and wide open spaces. and of course, the cover of a fleetwood mac song, written by stevie nicks, landslide. last song i loved is top of the world:
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
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
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 eveing
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 singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world
I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd a 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 good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
'Cause everone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
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
it's supposed to be sung by an old man who is passing away, singing about how he could have done things differently. i love the video, it spanned all three generations involved with one guy. i think it was emily that started it first, she played the old man's mother. then marty was the wife, then lastly, natalie as the daughter.
ah, yes, natalie. i just feel for her. remember the natalie scandal she did? i take my hat off. maybe because we have so much in common: piscean, only ten inches high, loud mouth, cute. haha!
