As we all know, the Dixie Chicks are, at the least, bad asses. These women have empowered other women for years, and now they have finally announced a tour. You bet they're already pre-ordered. My roommates and I have loved these ladies for quite some time and we are so excited. Even though I have never seen them in concert, the Dixie Chicks and their songs have been a therapist to many for years. After a break up screaming the lyrics in your car, being sad just crying to the melody, or just for pure happiness. Let's put together some of their greatest hits that gave us the feels.

1. "Goodbye Earl"

Oh Earl, how we won't miss you. Earl abused Wanda, which her friends were not happy about, so they ended him, literally. Now metaphorically this is what friends are for, not murder, but simply being there for your friends. This gave you a kick in the butt if you had a bad boyfriend to want better for yourself.

"Earl had to die."

2. "Not Ready to Make Nice"

This is the break-up song I was talking about. Man, if some dude screws you over, this is the song to blast. You're upset about what he did, and not ready to get over it, and you know what, that is perfectly fine, because YOU, my friend, are an independent woman who doesn't need a man! The title says it all: Not ready to make nice.

3. "Travelin' Soldier"

Now if you know someone in the Army or not, this song will give you the feels. It goes on how two people fell in love before he left for the force. They sent letters, but he ended up passing in the war. Sad, heartfelt song, enough said.

4. "I Can Love You Better Than That"

You know there is that one guy that is with a gal, a gal that isn't the best for him. In your mind, YOU are the one for him. This is the song for you. Knowing you are the best choice and the most qualified woman for him, honey sing it out.

"I know how to make you forget her."

5. "Without You"

Missing someone is a horrible, HORRIBLE, feeling. Whether they've passed, or you've both lost your way, it is tough losing someone. Thinking something was going to go a certain way, and it turns around and surprises you, it's tough. "Without You" gives you some feels in a way that makes you miss someone, even if you weren't missing someone in the first place!

6. "Some Days You Gotta Dance"

Here are some happy feels for you. The best way to get rid of stress, sadness, being mad, anything: DANCE. Let loose and give yourself some happiness and confidence to get through whatever you may be going through.

"You gotta loosen up those chains and DANCE!"

7. "The Long Way Around"

Be yourself, dance your own dance, and live life. If this song had one meaning it is to be you. You don't need to be others or follow the most popular path to make the best life for yourself. Taking the longer, tougher route makes you more successful in the long run, but not taking the easy way out.

8. "Ready to Run"

Let go, be free! This is all about taking chances and being in the moment. "Ready to Run" makes you feel empowered to take that leap and go get what you want!

I don't know about all of you, but I am beyond pumped to see these ladies live. They empower people each and every day, and being good at what they do doesn't hurt either! So as we say another goodbye to Earl, and learn how to dance in our hard times, we can simply be ready to run the long way around, even without you.

Super cheesy, but super necessary!
