Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music band which has also crossed over into other genres. The band is composed of founding members (and sisters) Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, and lead singer Natalie Maines. The band formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas and was originally composed of four women performing bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years without attracting a major label. After the departure of one bandmate, the replacement of their lead singer, and a slight change in their repertoire, the Dixie Chicks soon achieved commercial success, beginning in 1998 with hit songs "There's Your Trouble" and "Wide Open Spaces". more »

Dust bowl, Bible belt
Got more churches than trees
Raise me, praise me, couldn't save me
Couldn't keep me on my knees
Oh, boy, rave on down loop two-eighty-nine
That'll be the day you see me back in this fool's paradise

Temptation's strong (salvation's gone)
I'm on my way
To hell's half-acre
How will I ever
How will I ever
Get to heaven now?

Throwing stones from the top of your rock
Thinking no one can see
The secrets you hide behind
Your southern hospitality
On the strip, the kids get lit
So they can have a real good time
Come Sunday they can just take their pick
From the crucifix skyline

Temptation's strong (salvation's gone)
I'm on my way
To hell's half-acre
How will I ever
How will I ever
Get to heaven now
Get to heaven now?

International airport
A quarter after nine
Paris, Texas, Athens, Georgia's
Not what I had in mind
As I'm getting out I laugh to myself
'Cause this is the only place
Where as you're getting on the plane
You see Buddy Holly's face

I hear they hate me now, just like they hated you
Maybe when I'm dead and gone I'm gonna get a statue too

Temptation's strong (salvation's gone)
I'm on my way
To hell's half-acre
How will I ever
How will I ever
Get to heaven now
Get to heaven now?
How will I ever

Get to heaven now?
