the long way

i'm sure i'm not the first to praise my soul-group the Dixie Chicks' new album, but what a great first verse to an album:

"My friends from high school

Married their high school boyfriends

Moved into houses in the same ZIP codes

Where their parents live.

But I, I could never follow

No I, I could never follow. . ."

i urge everyone who likes the Dixie Chicks at all to purchase a copy of the album: you won't be disappointed.
