about

This song is called our dixie chicks song when performing. The title “the night they drove old dixie down” was taken, so we had to settle. It’s not nice what happened to those girls.

lyrics

Told to shut her mouth
How dare she throw her words around, So carelessly

She was one of their own
They say the twisted light of stardom, Owns her soul

They say the cause is just
To cast a net around the whole world, And fill it up

Maybe you, maybe me, They can cast their spells
Hate and misery, And then they all fall down
Happiness won't hold us down

Please stay true my friend
And use your own mind, heart, and pure voice
Keep them up at night

Think of the wounded few
When made unlikely heroes stood up, Not to back down

Maybe you, maybe me, They can cast their spells
Hate and misery, And then they all fall down
Happiness won't hold us down
