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.
You Can't Hurry Love
Dixie Chicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to find, find someone to call mine,
But mama said you can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love,
No, you just have to wait,
No matter how long it takes;
But how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on,
When I feel my strength, yeah, it's almost gone,
I remember mama said,
You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait how much more can I take,
Before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
No, I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own,
But when I feel that I, I can't go on,
These precious words keeps me hanging on,
I remember mama said,
Can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love,
No you just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy,
It's a game of give and take
No matter how long it takes.
No love, love don't come easy,
But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
Soft voice to talk to me at night,
For some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting; I keep on waiting,
But it ain't easy, it ain't easy when mama said
You can't hurry love no,
You just have to wait,
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes.
You can't hurry love
You just have to wait,
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take.
The Dixie Chicks covered "You Can't Hurry Love," originally recorded by the Supremes in 1966. The song was written by the songwriting and production team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland, known as Holland-Dozier-Holland. In the Dixie Chicks's version, the lyrics speak of the singer's desire for love and how their mother advised them to be patient and wait for the right person to come along. The song suggests that love is a game of give and take, and no matter how long it takes to find someone to love, that person will come at the right time.
The lyric “You can’t hurry love” has become a widely recognized phrase, and the song’s message of patience and determination has been applied to a variety of situations beyond romantic love. It has been used in advertisements for products ranging from women’s clothing to training programs for runners.
