Chicken Wire Lyrics by Tracy Lawrence

Made in America

2019

[Verse 1]
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–
[Chorus]
The chicken wire
Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire
Beer dripping off the amplifiers
Howl and scream, playin' while your fingers bleed
Payin' dues and doing time
Behind the chicken wire
[Verse 2]
Runnin' high on life and hungry
Playin' like we needed the money 'cause we did
Had a ball gettin' black-balled from a motel or two
Pretty girls passing phone numbers through
[Chorus]
The chicken wire
Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire
Beer dripping off the amplifiers
Howl and scream, playin' while your fingers bleed
Payin' dues and doing time
Behind the chicken wire
[Bridge]
Pink underwear, folding chairs and one cue ball
Lit cigarettes, dead presidents, man, I've seen it all
Thrown at–
[Chorus]
The chicken wire
Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire
Beer dripping off the amplifiers
Howl and scream, playin' while your fingers bleed
Payin' dues and doing time
Behind the chicken wire
[Verse 3]
Stitched up, handcuffed by the boys in blue
Duct tape, mama's prayers and a bad attitude
Sleeping in the parking lot of The Waffle House
Hey baby, catch you next time we're in town
Behind the chicken wire
Salt shakers
Money makers
Everything
Thrown at the chicken wire
