i am an only child 
born of the wild 
riddled to spend my time 
defending my land 

you are my 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 
counting through the night ride 
and it's one more life for the taker 
chickenman 
one more song for the maker 
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 
she was beaten by a stranger 
danger danger danger 

nd it's one more life for the taker 
chickenman chicken-man chickenman 
hold my hand 
one more life for the maker 
hold my hand 
chickenman 

i was on the road to Austin 
i 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 hard to be living 
he said it's a long road to be forgiven 

and one more life for the taker 
chickenman chickenman chickenman 
hold my hand 
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 my only one 
born in the sun 
riddled to spend you 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 chickenman 
hold my hand
i am an only child 
hold my hand 
chickenman chickenman chickenman 
hold my hand
