So, I am not that much into country music.... however this song from the Dixie Chicks has been getting a lot of air time lately and it has a lot of lyrics that hit me as true with some of the stuff going on in life.
I think that sometimes when we work through stuff its hard to be optimistic about life. But at the same time I guess we have to be. We have to be optimistic to let go of the stuff that drags us down. We have the choice each morning when we get up what baggage we are going to carry with us, guilt, selfishness, pride, anger, compassion, truthfullness, love etc... I am trying to let go of a lot of the crap. Thats why a post like thoughts on fathers day gets posted. I realize feelings get them out there... and the trickiest part....LET THEM GO!!!
ANY WAY enough of the rambling... the song lyrics:
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying
I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting
