He pushed me 'round
now I'm drawin' the line
He lived his life
now I'm gonna go live mine
I'm sick of wastin' my time
Well now I've been good for way too long
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
'Bout to get too far gone

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little but more of my twelve ounce nutrition
One more helpin' of what I've been havin'
I'm takin' my turn on the sin wagon

On a mission to make something happen
Feel like Delilah lookin' for Samson
Do a little mattress dancin'
That's right I said mattress dancin'

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more
of what I've been missin'
I don't know where I'll be crashin'
But I'm arrivin' on a sin wagon

When it's my turn to march up to glory
I'm gonna have one hell of a story
That's 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'
*I'll fly away*
on a sin wagon

Cowardly? Are you kidding? A lot people are too chicken to say anything against the man. The Chicks risked their careers to stand up and speak their minds. And probably their privacy and personal safety, given the disregard of the current administration for personal privacy and civil rights, not to mention the unquestioning rabidity of some Bushmongers. Yes, administration, I'm talking about you! Come and get me.
the Dixie Chicks are just lame, think about it.... This is the best contemporary country has to offer, THAT IS SAD!!!!

Those who think it has nothing to do with Rock are wrong.

Except Britney and Christina can't play an instrument. Sorry, but anybody who can play dobro, banjo and fiddle unplugged on a street corner, regardless of their success, can't be a pop whore. The Chicks are actually bluegrass whores!
This rules. If you can heap kudos on much of the talentless electro-garbage that gets played here you can appreciate some good performers before going \"blech\" because they\'re \"chicks\" or because it\'s country. I find thoughtlessness more prevalent in pseudo-intellectual forums like this than I do anywhere else.

Uh, they do cover a lot of songs written by established songwriters (just like "pop whores" such as Billie Holiday & Aretha Franklin, to name a couple) - but they're fine musicians in their own right & do write a fair amount of their own material. I'm no huge fan - & I admit that I probably wouldn't have played this track if it weren't for the press brouhaha - but they deserve a bit more credit than you give them. -bg
Hey, at least they feature some real flatpickin\' and instrumental virtuosity at high tempos, which has always been part of real country music. That\'s more than can be said for a lot of the pop cohort, for whom virtuosity is a word they\'d have to look up in the dictionary.

To great_one: Music and politics have always been intertwined (ever listen to that 60's music??) - why fight it?
Okay, I'm going to have to upload some real Dixie Chicks - as one person put it, "Before they fired everyone that wasn't blond". They were once a great, quirky bluegrass band.
Musically just OK, but I appreciate this a political statement in support of freedom of speach.

I have to admit i really like the Dixie Chicks and their irrepressible exuberance. And their spirit, but that\'s another story.... Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt (Caesar).
Yes, the Dixie Chicks have in some ways been ruined by their own success. I saw them in concert once in 1998 when they played between races at the local race track. Now they are the biggest act in the country and fans like myself don\'t find them as appealing. But you can\'t deny that their music is great. Especially with all the other country singers out there going to mainstream pop. One more Album and the chicks will most likely be there too.
Yee HAAA!
Hmmmmmmmmm. What is that odor?
Blech... This is supposed to be eclectic intelligent ROCK. NOT country. I say again, blech!
Had to happen.
RIGHT ON!!
Right on. :)
DIXIE CHICKS? Sigh. How about some good country? Where'd that John Anderson tune go?
