Lyrics
I wish I had some chicken (spoken)
I just passed the colonel?s picture on the billboard by the road
Telling me I?ve got a mile or two to go
I started thinking of that finger-licking line from the jingle
As I stare off in the distance with chicken on my mind
Chorus:
Well I owe it to the colonel and those juicy looking thighs
Those extra crispy breasts that turn my hunger on
We?ve been driving miles and miles and miles with eating on our mind
As I stare off in the distance I see the bucket in the sky
Instruments
We?ve been riding this Silver Eagle going from town to town
Play the Grand Ole Opry when we?re home
We ain?t looking for no trouble we ain?t looking for no fight
We?re just hungry country pickers a just looking for a bite
2nd Chorus:
Yeah we owe it to the colonel and those juicy looking thighs
Those extra crispy breasts that turn my hunger on
We ain?t looking for no trouble we ain?t looking for no fight
We?re just hungry country pickers a just looking for a bite
Instruments 2nd Chorus Instruments Yodel
Nashville?s how far? (spoken)
