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
Why can't you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it
I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets, and I don't mind saying
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
Saying 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, 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
Written by Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire, Emily Robison and Dan Wilson
As a Texan I'm proud that these girls are from Texas!!!!
After all these years, the Dixie Chicks still stand up for what they believe in despite knowing what the repercussions were. One has to admire that.
Too bad they changed their name to fit PC culture. Lost some fans because of that.
When Natalie gets to that aggressive climax....One of the biggest meaningful payoffs to a pop tune in the past 25 years.
These ladies did what 99 percent would never do. They put everything on the line to stand up for not only themselves but each and every one of us. Most do not understand they put everything on the line for all of us UNITED.
The Dixie Chicks were right, and you know it in your heart. You're just too prideful to admit it. Pride goweth before the fall.
It was never a right or wrong thing. They were nieve to think saying what she said would go over smoothly considering the majority of their fan base were strong Bush supporters. She should have known what would happen but I think she just wasn't smart. If she was a hip hop singer it wouldn't have been an issue at all.
@@jeffwilkinson1307 _Naive_ of you to think that these women didn't know what the consequences of their actions would be. They just thought their integrity was more important than shilling to people who supported a bogus war, even if that meant losing fans. They literally say it in the song, she made her bed and she sleeps like a baby.
They called them anti American 🇺🇸, but what they did was the embodiment of being an American. God bless the Dixie Chicks and this great nation.
What amazing role models. Especially to southern girls, who are taught to listen to the men, keep your interests in the home, and shut up.
3 southern women with their own voices, own beliefs and not afraid to stand up for what’s right. THATS SOUTHERN PRIDE.
❤️❤️❤️
Amen!
They lost their "Southern pride" and caved to the whole ridiculous ass-kissing agenda of the thin-skinned LibDemRINOs by changing their name by dropping "Dixie" from their group/band name.
sathalheimer67 They are thicker skinned than you’ll ever be . Moron
Bitch, go make me a sandwich
One day the industry will honor these women he way they should have been, although they’ve had to wait and wait.
What a moment in music history
Her voice is the best I've ever heard. I'm proud to say she's a Texan.
You can see the violinist hold back tears right when Natalie sings about the death threats. Such a raw and emotional performance right after all of the events. Incredible. Natalie truly felt it all as she sung.
Brings tears to my eyes too.
Waaaaa. They shot their mouths off. They needed a backbone instead of whining about the back lash.
@@alvinrodgers934 Nat made a perfectly reasonable and correct comment. History shows she was right.
The idiots who over-reacted and made death threats are the ones lacking in backbone. Babies threw their collective dummies out.
@@alvinrodgers934 typical male chauvinist response 😡😡
Not at all. That violinist probably played that song over 100 times desensatizing it for good. She was focused on playing her best. No tears
My god Natalie’s vocals are so amazing…like I’m thinking who can compare to this
I loved them before and I loved them MORE after the "incident". Powerful, talented and unafraid. ♥♥♥ Chicks Forever!
America truly fucked up when, as a country, we condemned these IMMENSELY talented artists!
This song still moves me to tears after all these years. Awesome that Letterman gave them a platform so soon after. I dated a republican at the time. Oopsie. Educated but ignorant, he believed the lies, ergo he was for the war. It was the beginning of the end for us. That war bankrupted our country.
SFGal9 2011 not all republicans supported the war, not all republicans supported the censorship of the Dixie chicks. What a generalizing statement you make! Educated but ignorant? The same appears to be the case for you, assuming you're educated!
@@fogg2837 awww. you poor thing. :(
fogg2 Yeah! Only the majority- Where the F were you?
82mmkay I was right here; part of the minority!
It didn't only bankrupt the country. Hundreds of thousands Iraqi and american lives were lost. Civilian deaths, women and children.
I stand behind them. Then and now! Freedom is what America is all about! That includes speach!
Amazing song. Thanks for posting!
Extremely good live vocals
It was never a freedom issue. They were never threatened to be fined or arrested. There is also freedom to not support artists who have radical views
@@jeffwilkinson1307 oh yeah.....that was soooo radical LOL.....standing up against invading another country for no fucking reason....REALLY man?
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
Never fails that I get weepy at the crescendo. Brilliant song. Thank you, David Letterman. You and The Dixie Chicks are class and courage personified. You showed them support when most turned their backs. That war was so very wrong and nearly bankrupt our country.
Letterman expressed his admiration a couple of years ago for Nicolle Wallace, who was George W Bush’s communications director, so he too can go f*ck himself along with Wallace and Bush.
Natalie has to be one of the most beautiful women ever with the voice to match
#SomebodyTestifyingToday
Not sure about her new look.. But here she's stunning
I stand behind them. Then and now! Freedom is what America is all about! That includes speach!
this was really unfair how bad they were treated
And also, she was protesting a war that everyone now agrees was a terrible idea. I think she is owed an apology.
As a disabled veteran I too stand behind them.
Soxfan801, thank you for your service!
*speech
Love love love their strength and beauty! I'm so proud of these women
Extremely good live vocals
One thing I like about the chicks is they love guitars. 4 guitars playing in this song. No laptops or software. Real musicians playing music. Great sound, great song,and a great singer. Love it.
It’s the voice even years later strikes so many chords... miss this band so much, Natalie’s solo album was brilliant but the courtyard hounds never got there. And probably the best anti -war song in my opinion of travelling soldier that song brings tears to this day
They are recording a new album!
Fuck yeah dude. Absolutely beautiful!
What a powerful song.
Real talent.
I've always been amazed at their strength and lack of fear ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Dixie chicks live on forever
Honestly this will sound weird but, I love the strings in this version. They just sound really Goo Goo Dolls.
Amazing song. Thanks for posting!

Those instruments were hauntingly perfect for the message of that song. Much talent there. Alway admired them! Way to ladies ! Still a powerful meaning to this day.
Amazing song. Thanks for posting!
Love you so much, Chicks! ❤️❤️❤️ So brilliant and brave and talented. I look to you whenever I need strength. Thank you. Always be proud of yourselves and know you are right ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
Amazing women .. honorable to their values
Stunning Song and performance
Natalie's vocals 👏👌
I still have so much respect for them. They are so brave and true champions for freedom of speech. We need more artists like them.
In the land of the free, they were persecuted mercilessly for speaking out against war. To this day I will never understand why some thinks war is a sacred occurrence. I think the greatest people are the ones who speaks out against or simply finds another solution, than war...
Agree. They simply spectacular in the face of such adversity. You Keep the World at Bay From Me.
this song was honestly revolutionary
Really love their honest performance!!! Bravo!!!
Wow! What a powerful song. She has a great voice
Three beautiful, talented ladies. Please keep it up, you make my heart smile.
Larry Knechtel of The Wrecking Crew, Bread, and the guy who arranged and played the piano on Bridge Over Trouble Water is playing piano here with the band. Larry played on this album and toured with the Dixie Chicks in this timeframe. Was aware of who he was but just learned he was in the girls’ band in the early 2000’s. Larry passed in 2009.
Great job and observation. I just ready about Larry because of you
Perfect
Love the Dixie Chicks love this song hell yeah!!
Amazing amazing amazing don't know what else to say
Never back down, it will kill your soul 👍
TRULY SPECTACULAR!
Beautiful
Girl can sing!
Long time fan.Girls stay strong.
I love you Dixie Chicks!
Natalie has to be one of the most beautiful women ever with the voice to match
What talent on that stage!......David Grisson, Audley Freed, Keith Sewell; just on guitar. And there is Janna Jacoby on fiddle! .........Did I mention the CHICKS were there.
Great job girls.
Powerful
Still relevant today as it was back then...
All this years still there
Good onya, Chickies! Stand up for your beliefs. LOVE from OZ!
I stand behind them. Then and now! Freedom is what America is all about! That includes speach!
I am sorry hate me or like me, the chicks were best band out there in country music, they made some of the best music for country music, both bushes did not help us, they helped other countries, look it up online, just because she said what she said, that's her opinion, to bad we all have our own opinion, maybe you don't say it like Natalie did, but I am sorry everyone said something in private not thinking everyone would hear, so are we Hippocrates, who cares what she said no one is perfect, this is a great band, wake up, who cares what was said, they put out some of the best COUNTRY music, so let's embrace them for the great talent they are,
eargasm when she hit the high note with that beautiful bravado and nails it every time in key. She's by far (i'm prob stating the obv. ) but by far she's so much better of a singer than the other two. But eveyone plays a part i get that
I will never forget.....the shit they went through because of what Natalie said about Bush at their concert. This masterpiece of a song is a reflection of what good can come when one perseveres and doesn't back down. This album took almost every grammy the year it came out. I've never been so proud of such 3 strong willed women with integrity, honesty and sheer class....Natalie.....kudos to you for standing your ground...you make us all very proud. You, the Dixie Chicks are an incredible group of talent and always will be.
It's too late to make it right? Nothing to make right. Truth rules.
Stunning Song and performance
Amazing!!!🤘
Wonder what Natalie would say about Trump.... 😅
Good onya, Chickies! Stand up for your beliefs. LOVE from OZ!

Another tour
I was there
Stop. The politics. This is a classic because it applies to universal contexts. Yeah it applies to politics but if you scan theses comments, you’ll find it applies to a myriad of human situations.
Whatever your take, SUCH a declaration! Bravo! and thank you!
Shame on the jerks who turned their backs on them. You go chicks, more for you than against you. Who the hell cares what dumb A's think anyway. You're smart, talented, and successful women. Forget them, they are so not worth it. Always a fan.
Brave women i love the chicks......
That's a legend back there on the keyboards. Larry Knechtel. Look him up. Played with the Wrecking Crew.
Audley Freed, David Grisson on Electric; Keith Sewells on Acoustic. Martie, Emily, and Natalie are the only permanent members of this band. But they have always attracted great players.
Can somebody tell me what guitar the man is playing the acoustic one
3 Grammy Awards
Extremely good live vocals
Great stuff.... she almost missed that last verse

They are recording a new album. Wonder if they will address the current political climate.
Who knows. Kinda wanna know now 😂

How times have changed. Right now it’s frowned upon to support the President.

sheldon wortham haha
We're ashamed that the president of the United States is orange.
2:00 Wait, is this song personal for her? I can't tell.
I think Natalie could hit any note... ANY note. You just need to piss her off enough. 😀
julia robert here
Yeah, but her e-mails or something
Damn..
Dixie Chicks emang parah sih
They say time heals all wounds. I disagree. I think we just get better at dealing with the things we have no power to change.
Great stuff.... she almost missed that last verse
Wonder what Natalie would say about Trump.... 😅
That one marine sings that song much better
please tell me she didn't vote Trump :(
Forgive sounds good forget your not sure you could. God commands us to forgive, but it usually isn't possible to forget. Sorry you got death threats.
Inspired by President Bush
Traitors always traitors disgrace
That was 18 years ago.
How many guitars do you need to perform a simple, lame song like this. Jeeezus n they're all mediocre players. Overkill maybe?
you sought out this random old video to make this comment? lol
Looking beyond the message, I don't know why people like this song. It's poorly written lyrically, and even more poorly performed musically. I suppose if you agree with someone's politics you're willing to accept pure trash as art because that's where this production belongs.
LMAOOOO we can def tell you’re a whiny lame republican. This song is beautiful and you know it lol
The entire Nation owes Ladies a big apology. Like dinging The National Anthem at the inauguration.
Her voice is just a gift
Luke Wilson?!
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
