Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My favorite Dixie Chicks song. They are so talented. Every time I hear her say "he's two and she's four and you know they adore you," I just want to cry. This song is so great.

i am posting this because this song deserves more than 1 comment. this song is beautiful and was written about the 2 sister's parents from their mom's point of view.

being a guy this song just makes me think.... about how a girl who was completely in love with you would feel if you left.

I'm with you sharpasasp00n - that line makes me want to cry too! It makes the situation seem real.

i personally think this is one, if not best, dixie chick song. i am a huge fan, but this song really sticks out.

like everyone else, it also hits me hard at the two and four part. there's not many songs out there for mothers who've lost the love of their life.

Big Kudos to the chicks!

This song is great...plus it hits me really hard at the 2 and 4 part, as those were the ages of me and my brother when my parents split.

This song is very beautiful, yet depressing. The two and four part hits me hard as well.

lol i guess im another person who loves the 2 and 4 part. i LOVE this song soooo much. its so sad. "how can i tell them that you changed your mind?" that part makes me cry. cuz u cant be in love and then all of a sudden change your mind... it just makes sense that its not something u can just change ur mind about... and yet ppl do all the time.... the last line is just about my favorite.... i mean who cant relate to that line??
