Chicken Truck Lyrics - Anderson John

It was mornin' when I left Alabama 

I must a been around in mid July 

Well I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia 

And the feathers were a fallin' like snow out of the sky 

I couldn't get up speed enough to pass him 

And a funny smell was a gettin' close to me 

Somethin' keeps on messin' up my windshield 

And the further I go the harder it gets to see 

Chicken Truck, Chicken Truck, behind it I'm stuck 

Chicken Truck, Chicken Truck, ain't it just my luck 

Chicken Truck on Highway 65 

Well the hens are a squawkin', the roosters are a crowin' 

He's a slowin' me down when I need to keep goin' 

Chicken Truck on Highway 65 

He slowed down and I finally got around him 

On a big long hill just south of Tennessee 

He had a box of Colonial Sanders on his dashboard 

He was eatin' fried chicken and throwin' the bones on me
