Intro
I am an only child born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time defending my land
You are the only one born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time defending my plan
D Dsus2 Dsus4 D (x2)
Verse 1
Dead dog on the highway, median cats are growling at me
I turn my lights on brighter, I'm counting through the night ride
Chorus
One more life for the taker, Chickenman
One more song for the maker, Chickenman
Verse 2
On the road to Athens, I saw a dead deer on the highway
I slipped into a desert, five prairie dogs and a rabbit
I was running down on Queen Street, I saw a woman on the sidewalk
She was beaten by a stranger, danger danger danger
Chorus
And it's one more life for the taker, Chickenman, Chickenman hold my hand
One more song for the maker, Chickenman, Chickenman hold my hand
Instrumental
Verse 3
I was on the road to Austin, I met a man on the highway
He sold me junk and conversation, he was wise and dirty from the weather
I said, "darkness into darkness, all the carnage of my journeys
Makes it harder to be living;" he said, "it's a long road to be forgiven"
Chorus
And it's one more life for the taker, Chickenman, hold my hand
One more song for the maker (Chickenman, Chickenman, hold my hand)
Instrumental
Bridge
I am an only child born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time defending my land
You are the only one born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time defending my plan
Instrumental
Outro
I went looking for a car, found myself beneath the stars
I went looking for a girl, found a man and his world
Chickenman, chickenman, chickenman, hold my hand
Chickenman, chickenman, chickenman, hold my hand
