I’ve been waitin’ on a cold front to trample this sun
|
I’ve been callin’ my mama on the telephone
|
I’ve been cookin’ lots of chicken on the kitchen stove
|
And pulin’ a’meat right off the bone
|
|
I’ve been sendin’ letters of sorrow home
|
I’ve been hurtin’ daily and sleepin’ long
|
I’ve been eatin’ lots of chicken and getting’ mighty stoned
|
And pullin’ meat right off the bone.
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Ain’t asked myself, how did it get this way
|
But when I ask myself, I ain’t got much to say
|
I’m just a’cookin’ chicken and eatin’ crow
|
And pullin’ meat right off the bone.
|
|
(Instrumental break)
|
|
We have no preacher to marry our son
|
Our daughters have no faith in a Christian home
|
How shall we live now that God is gone?
|
just pullin’ meat right off the bone.
|
|
(Bridge)
|
Ain’t asked myself, how did it get this way
|
But when I ask myself, I ain’t got much to say
|
I’m just a’cookin’ chicken and eatin’ crow
|
And pullin’ meat right off the bone.
|
|
I’m pullin’ meat right off the bone.
