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
