Indigo Girls
Chickenman (Live)
[Intro]
I am an only child
Born of the wild
Riddled to spend my time
Defending my land
You are my only one
Born in the sun
Riddled to spend your time
Defending my plan
[Verse 1]
Dead dog on the highway
Median cats are growling at me
I turn my lights on brighter
I'm counting through this night ride
[Chorus]
And it's one more life for the taker
Chickenman chickenman
One more song for the maker
Chickenman chickenman
[Verse 2]
On the road to Athens
I saw a dead deer on the highway
I slipped into a desert
I killed fivе prairie dogs and a rabbit (Four, five, six)
[Verse 3]
I was running down on Queen Street
I saw a woman on the sidеwalk (Danger danger)
She was beaten by a stranger
(Danger danger, danger danger)
Said danger danger danger
[Chorus]
And it's one more life for the taker
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
One more song for the maker
Hold my hand
Chickenman
[Verse 4]
I was on the road to Austin
I met a man on the highway
He sold me junk and conversation
Now, he was wise and dirty from the weather
[Verse 5]
I said darkness into darkness
All the carnage of my journeys
Makes it harder to be living
[?] He talked about a long road
I said good, because I need to be forgiven
[Chorus]
And one more life for the taker
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
One more song for the maker
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
[Interlude]
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
[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
I went looking for a car
Chickenman hold my hand
Found myself beneath the stars
Chickenman chickenman
I went looking for a girl
Chickenman hold my hand
Found a man and his world
I am an only child
Chickenman chickenman chickenman hold my hand
Hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman hold my hand
I am an only child
Chickenman chickenman chickenman hold my hand
Hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
Chickenman chickenman chickenman
Hold my hand
