Top Of The World Lyrics

Dixie Chicks

I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does
I wished it would've been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could've stood Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day 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 singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word somehow
I 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'd had known you Wished I had shown you All of the things I Was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in the morning To whisper goodbye Go to work in the rain
I don't know why Don't know why
'Cause everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold off that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world Right now
Oh, 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
