Chicken Fried by Viking Cowboy

“Chicken Fried“ is a song by American country music group Zac Brown Band, which frontman Zac Brown co-wrote with Wyatt Durrette. The song was first recorded in 2003 for the 2005 album Home Grown. The Lost Trailers, another country group, released their version in 2006 as a single, but it was withdrawn from radio. Two years later, the Zac Brown Band re-recorded the song and released it as the first single from their album The Foundation. In late 2008, “Chicken Fried“ became the band’s first chart single, as well as their first number-one hit on the Billboard country charts. The song has also been placed at number 39 for the Taste of Country’s “Top 100 Country Songs of All Time“ chart. The song was featured in the 2008 comedy film Witless Protection. ------------------LYRICS----------- You know I like my chicken fried A cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well, I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia Pine And that’s home you know Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine where the peaches grow And my house, it’s not much to talk about But it’s filled with love that’s grown in southern ground And a little bit of chicken fried A cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I’ve done seen the sun rise See the love in my woman’s eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother’s love It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes There’s no dollar sign on a peace of mind This I’ve come to know So if you agree, have a drink with me Raise your glasses for a toast To a little bit of chicken fried A cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I’ve done seen the sun rise See the love in my woman’s eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother’s love I thank God for my life And for the stars and stripes May freedom forever fly, let it ring Salute the ones who died The ones that give their lives So we don’t have to sacrifice All the things we love Like our chicken fried And cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I’ve done seen the sun rise See the love in my woman’s eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother’s love Get your little chicken fried And cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I’ve done seen the sun rise See the love in my woman’s eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother’s love Källa: Musixmatch Låtskrivare: Zac Brown / Wyatt Beasley Durrette Text till Chicken Fried © Weimerhound Publishing
