Indigo Girls - Chickenman lyrics

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 Dead dog on the highway Median cats are growling at me I turn my lights on brighter I'm counting through the night ride And it's one more life for the taker Chickenman chickenman One more song for the maker Chickenman chickenman 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 (danger danger) She was beaten by a stranger (danger danger danger danger) Danger danger danger 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 I was on the road to austin 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 One more life for the taker Chickenman chickenman Chickenman hold my had One more song for the maker Chickenman chickenman Chickenman hold my hand 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 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
