Top Of The World
Performed by The Dixie Chicks
From the album "Home"
Capo 2
I wish I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wished any of it were easier
Instead of any longer
I wish I could have stood
Where you would have proud
That won't happen now, that won't happen now
Chorus:
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 song bird
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
Chorus
n..
I wished I would have known you
Wished I would have shown you
All of the things
I was on the inside
I pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Chorus 2:
Cause everybody's singing
We just want to be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
-stop-
Some how
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
D - stop -
Right now
- Instrumental -
,
- Vocal wailing -
Oh, oh...
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
Bm x 2
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
