Chicken Wire

Five guys crammed in a Chevy van

Digging change out of the seats to buy some gas

One more slug it out roadhouse gig

Looking back sometimes I miss

The chicken wire

Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire

Beer dripping off the amplifiers

Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed

Paying dues and doing time

Behind the chicken wire

Running high on life and hungry

Playing like we needed the money 'cause we did

Had a ball getting black-balled from a motel or two

Pretty girls passing phone numbers through

The chicken wire

Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire

Beer dripping off the amplifiers

Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed

Paying dues and doing time

Behind the chicken wire

Pink underwear, folding chairs and one cue ball

Lit cigarettes, dead presidents, man I've seen it all

Thrown at

The chicken wire

Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire

Beer dripping off the amplifiers

Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed

Paying dues and doing time

Behind the chicken wire

Stitched up, handcuffed by the boys in blue

Duct tape, mama's prayers and a bad attitude

Sleeping in the parking lot of a Waffle House

Hey baby catch you next time we're in town

The chicken wire

Salt shakers, fifth of Makers, everything

Thrown at the chicken wire
