Top of the World By Dixie Chicks
song and music written by Patty Griffin
I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus,The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you have
would have been proud
But that won't happen now
That won't happen now
Chrous: There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word
somehow
Think I broke off the wings of 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
repeat chorus
I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd shown you
All the things I was on the inside
I"d pretend to be sleeping
When you come in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Cause everyones singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word
somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world
Right now,Top if the world,
Top of the world
