I tend to have thought a lot about this last album they collaborated on.... It was their goodbye for now... I would just love if Natalie came back with that strong voice, and the girls amazing harmony as a trio use to be freakin perfect! Plus those girls got me through a lot!
Can't wait till they pair up again.... ;) at least I really hope so. This entire album is about their great success' and screw ups and the entire remark about that Bush fiasco
Let's explain:
My friends from high school
Married their high school boyfriends
Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes
Where their parents live
(These girls we're young women when they started this particular trio; most other peers of theirs did exactly that while these girls we're traveling all across the world.)
But they could never follow.
I hit the highway in a pink RV with stars on the ceiling
Lived like a gypsy
Six strong hands on the steering wheel
(I think this is from back in the early days of the old Dixie Chick band when they traveled they also we’re very strong women they we’re so free)
I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By taking the long way
Taking the long way around
Taking the long way
Taking the long way around
(They aren’t really ready to quick which later eluded to but but they are ready to settle down, they have kids and husbands.)
It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
(I think all of this is Natalie’s contribution though I do feel strongly she had a lot to do with this song. Her remarks about bush that got blown out of control it really hurt them… While everyone was burning them and publicly destructing their artwork I clutched onto mine. Natalie spoke up, realized she may not want to have said that personal opinion, but she says “It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself (Most people took offence to it, though she was just sharing her opinion; but she felt hurt because ppl wanted nothing to do with her or them as a group after that; and after that their record label dropped them :/ and this record sale was a low for them at the time…) Guess I could have made it easier on myself (she screwed up she knows )”
But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
(I’ve already explained the first 2 lines; but the last phrase I would hope remains true: If you ever still want to find her (Natalie) you can still find her… The Two Erwin sisters started the Court Yard Hounds; Natalie was blacklisted from many places…
