You don't like the sound of the truth
Comin' from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby there might be some
I'm gonna get to the end of my life
Find out everyone was lying
I dont think that I'm afraid anymore
Say that I would rather die trying
Chorus
Whoa, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips
All the love from my lips
This time when he swung the bat
and i found my self laying flat
I wonder
What a way to spend a dime
what a way to use the time
Aint it baby?
I looked at my reflection
in the window walking past and I saw a stranger
Just so scared all the time
It makes me one more reason why
the world's dangerous
Chorus
(Music Solos)
You don't like the sound of the truth
coming from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Baby there might be some
Tell me what's wrong with having a little faith
In what your feeling in your heart
Why must we be so afraid
and always so far apart?
Chorus
Comin' from my mouth
You say that I lack the proof
Well baby there might be some
I'm gonna get to the end of my life

Chorus
Whoa, swing me way down south
Sing me something brave from your mouth
And I'll bring you pearls of water on my hips
And the love in my lips

Ha!
As this plays, I'm writing another scorching comment to a regional newspaper on the recent Trump caucus win.
I keep using the phrases "truth and facts" and "speaking truth to power" in my comment.
It must be kismet and coincidence. Karma?

The Chicks get a 7 but Patty gets an 8.
The Dixie Chicks..
This song sounds sultry and filthy and terribly provocative… I LOVE it!!
Patty Griffin's OG is phenomenal, but damn did the Chicks do a great job building on it to create something that I have to admit I enjoy slightly more than Patty's (even if I feel guilty every time I think it because Patty is so awesome).

Has their band name been retroactively changed here? They were called Dixie Chicks when this album was released.
For my European ears this is faaaar too country. Thanks again for PSD.

I've never been a huge Dixie Chicks fan, but I like this a lot.
IMO this is their best. Natalie sounds amazing.

Pretty sure it's Patty Griffin who did the constructing on that song. At least according to Wikipedia:
"Truth No. 2" and "Top of the World" were originally recorded by Patty
Griffin for a 2000 album that went unreleased. "I Believe in Love" made
its debut on the 2001 telethon America: A Tribute to Heroes.
Great song, tho. Happy to hear it covered in lovely voices.
This song is the one that converted me into a Dixie Chicks fan. Damn that is one well-constructed song.

A friend and I were talking recently. We came to the conclusion that "country" music began as "I was drunk, then I found God and I'm sorry for what I did." Next phase, "I'm drunk and bad things are happening." Today, "Aw, f*** it. Let's go get drunk."

Another fine song written by Maine's own Patty Griffen.
Almost as good as Patty Griffin

I'm inclined to agree. I'd add that if "Country Music" is only meant for people from the country then that's rather limiting. Sounds like part of the "real Americans" notion that's popular in certain political circles these days.

Well that certainly is a toe-tapper. And despite my once upon a time 'Don't like country' prejudice, these days I'm glad to know enough to appreciate those harmonies and the level of musicianship accompanying them.

The Dixie Chicks are wonderful musicians and song writers, imho.

I don't know why this in comparison rates so low: when it feels so authentic, pure, enriching and uplifting to me. Might it be something about "Shut Up And Sing"? Another muse I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing.

Natalie was promoting a new CD a while back that wasn't quite the country flair, and in an interview she commented on how much she dislikes country music. You freakin moron, you insulted the very country music fans who bought your music, gave you a lot of fame and made you a lot of money. For that arrogant comment alone, I will NEVER listen to them.

Thank you for playing Dixie Chicks! and Led Zeppelin! and Beck! and Ludivico Einaudi! and so much more! Where else can programming like this be found? No where that I know of. We are extremely grateful! Don't know how you do it 24 hours a day, but keep up the good work!
There's only two kinds of music... good and bad. This ain't bad.
Good on Bill for picking this nugget out of their catalog - and this is not the usual "country" swill polluting the airwaves these days. I think Americana would be more appropriate.

So true! Great song and the Dixie Chicks are way cool, but Patty ought to be the one playing this song on RP!

Isn't here enough country music radio stations in the US - and only in the US by the way - playing this worn out genre?
Every hillbilly has his own favorite AM wavelength.

Natalie was promoting a new CD a while back that wasn't quite the country flair, and in an interview she commented on how much she dislikes country music. You freakin moron, you insulted the very country music fans who bought your music, gave you a lot of fame and made you a lot of money. For that arrogant comment alone, I will NEVER listen to them.

I would rather hear Patty sing her own song.

Country - Plenty of country stations out there... pick one.
Okay, this is admittedly not in my normal purview but I like it. They're talented and the song is uplifting somehow.

A few notes...
A. Not the first time she said that, even reportedly as she was being recruited to the band. They won her over with talent, and with the great songs they chose to record.
B. Don't blame her if she equates country music with the collection of country music fans that turned on them for essentially the same thing- stating their view where someone could broadcast it.
C. Doubt she wants you back as a fan, assuming you ever were. Your loss, her gain. In my opinion.

It's the way Patty wants it.....she is a world known singer/songwriter with none of the crap that goes with being a superstar in this crazy world. She has a HUGE worldwide following and yet can roam the streets of Austin (with hubby Mr Plant) and not be harassed.
Rando, you may know there is another non-famous-but-very-influential songwriter living a stone's throw from you. Susan Gibson. The Dixie Chicks recorded her 'Wide Open Spaces', from which she's made a small fortune. And maintained a degree of sanity in the process.
Austin folks generally seem to leave music celebs alone. I've stood two feet from Billy Gibbons a couple times. Patty and Robert hand out candy to neighborhood treat-or-treaters.

This was in my favourites, can't hear it the same way now that they're "the chicks". Cave to the woke mob and I'm outta here.
We in the "woke mob" started using "woke" because people like you couldn't spell empathy. This is how you thank us?
