Dixie Chicks - Top of the World Lyrics

I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus the way the my wife does
I wished it'd 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 it'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, top of the world

I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no guide 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 it's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word somehow
I think I broke the wings off a 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, 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
I wanna grab a hold of 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
