This is certainly far from politically correct, but I must confess that the Dixie Chicksā song Goodbye Earl has often been blasted on my CD player and sung at the top of my lungs in the relative privacy of my car.
This song would be a highly inappropriate sentiment for any religious professional, you know.
I have to tell you, though, over the years Iāve had a few Earls in my life. Mostly because I am a religious professional.
So, you might imagine how excited I am that the Dixie Chicks have a new album which includes a song I suspect may have me singing in the car again. (Donāt worry, Iāll keep the windows rolled up.)
Check it out:
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, Iām not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But Iām still waiting
Iām through with doubt
Iām through with doubt
Thereās nothing left for me to figure out
Iāve paid a price
And Iāll keep paying
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to back down
Iām still mad as hell and
I donāt have time to go round and round and round
Itās too late to make it right
I probably wouldnāt if I could
āCause Iām mad as hell
Canāt bring myself to do what it is you think I should
I know you said
I know you said
Canāt you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I donāt mind sayinā
Itās a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That theyād write me a letter
Sayinā that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to back down
Iām still mad as hell and
I donāt have time to go round and round and round
Itās too late to make it right
I probably wouldnāt if I could
āCause Iām mad as hell
Canāt bring myself to do what it is you think I should
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to make nice
Iām not ready to back down
Iām still mad as hell and
I donāt have time to go round and round and round
Itās too late to make it rightI probably wouldnāt if I could
āCause Iām mad as hell
Canāt bring myself to do what it is you think I should
Forgive, sounds good
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, Iām not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But Iām still waiting
