The trio is currently ranked as the highest-selling female musical group in the USA, according to RIAA Gold & Platinum album certifications. As of 2012, The Chicks had won 13 Grammy Awards. While The Chicks continues, Maguire and Robison are writing and recording as Court Yard Hounds as of Feb 2010. The Dixie Chicks renamed the band in 2020 to The Chicks dropping Dixie from the official name as the name had the word 'Dixie' referencing the American Mason–Dixon line, which separated the free and slave-owning southern states.
Robin Lynn Macy was an original bandmember, as was Laura Lynch. Macy left the group in 1992, while Lynch was replaced by Natalie Maines in 1995.
The group aroused considerable controversy for publicly denouncing President George W. Bush and the imminent invasion of Iraq during the European leg of their Top of the World tour supporting Home. Many country music stations immediately pulled their music from the air, and the band received criticism from many corners of the media.

Tied around her little finger
She's got you thinkin' you could never escape
Don't you know your heart's in danger
There's a devil in that angel face
If you could only see the love that you're wasting
I can love you better than that
All I'm askin' is for one little chance
Cause' baby I can love you, baby I can love you better
I'm gonna break the spell she's got on you
Your gonna wake up to find
I'm your desire my intentions are true
Hey babe I know in time

So open up your eyes

She recognizes that he is under the spell of his current partner, feeling trapped and unable to leave. The singer acknowledges that the woman he is with may seem perfect on the outside with her "satin and lace" and "angel face," but there is a darker side to her. The singer tells the man that his heart is in danger, as he may not be aware of the love he is wasting on his current partner.
The chorus of the song is a plea for the man to give the singer a chance. She promises that she can make him forget his current partner, and that she can love him better than she ever could. She is confident that in time, he will see what he means to her if he simply opens his eyes and gives her a chance.
Overall, this song is a powerful message about the dangers of staying in a relationship that may not be right for you. The singer recognizes that the man may feel comfortable where he is, even if it may not be the healthiest environment for him.

I'll be a Dixie chicks fan forever. I got their first cd for my 6th birthday and I wore that thing out. Now at 26 I'm still jamming out to their music.

We're the same person OMG 😭 I think I was 7 tho got my first CD player and CD....Wide Open Spaces
@DanAnkers
I found the cassette tape of theirs in a used car that I bought a long long time ago when cassettes and cassette players were in cars lol. So I put that baby in the cassette player and I started playing it. I liked it so much that I ended up playing it for like weeks straight, exclusively. I was never a country fan back then, but they just made such happy sounding music was so much soul and was so much talent. Not only that, their songwriting ability is truly at another level. I mean these ladies are actual artists. Not just pop musicians. Now I was a young dude so it was kind of embarrassing to like it so much. I would turn it down when people were next to my car. I eventually stopped being embarrassed by it and would just blast it and smile at people. I'm a fan... Now of course I'm grown, so I'll be listening to the sappiest song by any artist and I'll just blast it shamelessly. But I'm pretty sure that the Dixie Chicks were the first group that broke that barrier in me
