Lyrics
ROCK AND ROLL CHICKEN
Rock 'n' roll chicken, ridin' fence-line wire
Rock 'n' roll chicken, heart full of fire
Corncrib empty and the well run dry
Buzzards makin' circles in a bleached-out sky
Rock 'n' roll chicken -- don't back down
Scratch that groove into this town
If the coop won't hold and the law won't listen
Turn it up loud -- rock 'n' roll chicken
Rock 'n' roll chicken, black hat pulled low
Rock 'n' roll chicken, nowhere to go
Sheriff got boots and a thin-lipped grin
Says, "Boy, you been crowin' trouble again."
Rock 'n' roll chicken -- raise that sound
Kick up dust when the sun goes down
If the night gets mean and the sky starts twistin'
Crow it twice -- rock 'n' roll chicken
Dust in the throat, blood on the string
Some birds fight, some birds sing
Moonshine truth in a cracked tin cup
Knock life down -- it gets back up
Rock 'n' roll chicken -- light that fuse
Born with spurs and outlaw blues
If the barn burns down and the whole world's missin'
Stand up tall -- rock 'n' roll chicken
