G                                  C
Well it was morning when I left Alabama
D7                              G
It must have been around in mid July
                                  C
I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia
        D7                                     G
And the feathers were a flying snow out of the sky

                                      C
I couldn't get up the speed enough to pass him
        D7                               G
And the funny smell was getting close to me
                                     C
And something keeps on messing up my windshield
        D7                             G
And the farther I go the hard it is to see


Chicken truck chicken truck behind it I'm stuck
        C
Chicken truck chicken truck it's just my luck
        D7                              G
Chicken truck chicken truck on highway 65


Well the hens were a-squawking and the rooster are a-crowing
       C
He's a slowing me down when I need to keep going
        D7                G
Chicken truck on highway 65

                                  C
He slowed down and I finally got around him
     D7                               G
On a big long hill just south of Tennessee
                                       C
He had a box of Colonel Sanders on his dashboard
       D7                                             G
He was eating fried chicken and throwing the bones on me
