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.
There's Your Trouble
Dixie Chicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same old story and Dear John and so long
It should have fit like a glove
It should've fit like a ring, like a diamond ring
A token of a true love
Should've all worked out, but it didn't
She should be here now, but she isn't
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
So now your thinkin' 'bout all your missin'
How deep your sinkin'
Round and round and draggin' down
Why don't you cash in your chips
Why don't you call it a loss
Not such a big loss
Chalk it up for better luck
Could have been true love, but it wasn't
It should all add up, but it doesn't
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble
Should have all worked out, but it didn't
She should be here now, but she isn't
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
Keep seein' double with the wrong one
And you can see I love you
You can't see she doesn't
But you just keep holding on
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
There's your trouble, there's your trouble
There is your trouble
The lyrics of Dixie Chicks’ “There’s Your Trouble,” tells the story of a woman who is trying to explain to a man why his relationship with another woman hasn’t worked out. The song speaks about how they both should’ve known things would’ve gone wrong, especially when it comes to love. The woman is trying to remind the man that he was holding onto something that wasn’t meant to be, as he couldn’t see that the love wasn’t reciprocated by his partner. The song’s message is clear - sometimes people hold onto the wrong person for too long and it can often hurt more than it helps.
The lyrics convey the disappointment and regret of a failed relationship. The woman is telling the man that he should’ve seen the signs indicating that the relationship was going downhill. The chorus of the song repeats the line “There's your trouble” and emphasizes the point that the man was blind to the fact that the woman he was with wasn’t truly in love with him. Towards the end of the song, the woman advises the man to walk away from this unhealthy relationship, see his losses and start over.
