Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice Lyrics

Artist: Dixie Chicks

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Emily Robinson, Dan Wilson

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time
To go round and round and round

It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell, can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should

I know you said
'Can't you just get over it?'
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don't mind sayin'
It's 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 they'd write me a letter sayin' that I better
Shut up and sing or my life will be over

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time
To go round and round and round

It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell, can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time
To go round and round and round

It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell, can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should
What it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

    this song is about the lead singer dogging the president and then radio stations breaking and burning their cd's because of it.

    This song is telling us about what it feels like to tell your daughter that her dad is a bad person when she has no right then her dad comes back into her daughters life and takes her away. Finally her daughters dad takes her to court to get full custody of the daughter and wins because her daughter hates the mom for telling her daughter her dad was a bad person.
