Lyrics
CHOKIN' ON A CHICKEN BONE
Sam Cooper
jericat@yahoo.com
Ain't sittin' here at home,
God, I'm all alone,
Don't be chokin' on a chicken bone.
Billionaires livin' on the third stone,
Tryin' to get you to take out a loan,
They could be all chokin' on a chicken bone.
How 'bout smokin' some home grown,
Ridin' shotgun on a cyclone,
And then you be chokin' on a chicken bone.
Goin' back to the days of Fred Flintstone,
Been blowin' on my trombone,
Ain't chokin' on no chicken bone.
Slippin' my spine, sippin' my wine,
Losin' track of time with my partner in crime,
I don't think I'm gonna be chokin' on no chicken bone.
Ooooh, voices on dat telephone,
Hearin' nothin' but a dial tone,
Not chokin' on a chicken bone.
Some how, it's never enough,
The question is "How much is really enough?",
I don't know, I ain't that tough.
Oh no, I think we got to go.
But it's early,
Ya wanna stick around (lost in a dream)?
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
Chokin' on a chicken bone.
