Hey Dixie bytches…….
Marine Cpl. David Thibodeaux’s song is a rallying cry to stay the course.
Forgive, I should
Forget, bet you wish I wouldYou say, time heals everything
So just keep waitingYou’re through, no doubt
But your too blind to figure it out
There is, a price
And I’ll keep payin’I’m not ready to end the fight
I’m not ready to back down
I’ve been through hell
And I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to turn back now
You know I wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m proud as hell
I can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I shouldYou once, walked
On the yellow brick roadBut now you stumble on jagged stones
And I kind of like itIn your bed you sob like a baby
So full of regret as you lye there prayin’
And it’s a sad, sad story that a mother didn’t teach her
Daughter to respect those who protect her
And now you know how the words that you say
Can send so many over the edge
That hearts fill up with hate and anger
As you dream of a way to make it better
You can’t make it betterI’m not ready to end the fight
I’m not ready to back down
I’ve been through hell
And I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to turn back now
You know I wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m proud as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I shouldI’m not ready to end the fight
I’m not ready to back down
I’ve been through hell
And I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to turn back now
You know I wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m proud as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I shouldForgive, no chance
Forget, not till my last breath
You say, time heals everything
But I’m not waiting
From his MySpace page, Cpl Thibodeaux writes:
A fellow Marine and I wrote, and I recorded a song titled “Not Ready To End The Fight.” This song was inspired by the fact that I, like many Americans, don’t particularly appreciate the underlying message behind the Dixie Chicks’ song “Not Ready To Make Nice.” While I did like the underlying music from song, the lyrics’ just didn’t sit well with me, many of my colleagues and other Americans.
