Some good old boys live down the road,
Turn left at the barn with the beat up Ford,
Rusted roof, string up lights...that's the house with the chicken fights
You gotta know someone if you wanna get in,
And "Dirty Ben", you know he's my friend,
"One Eyed Willie" works the gate...starts at midnight, don't be late
Chicken Fight late at night,
Chicken Fight them birds 'aint right,
Chicken Fight to the death...that rooster done crowed his last breath
Well they raising roosters 'aint got no hens,
Gotta keep 'em all in separate pens,
Sharpened beak, dew claw knife...get ready for the Chicken Fight!
Chicken Fight late at night,
Chicken Fight them birds 'aint right,
Chicken Fight to the death...that rooster done crowed his last breath

Well, I’m feeling weak, as the days go by
And I can't help, but close my eyes
My visions blurred, and it's hard to speak
I’m going weak with every word
So let me sleep, for I can't stand
Unwoken thoughts put me at ease
Well, I’m growing tired, with every mile
But I can't help but ramble on
Never sure, I will never know
If tomorrows ever gonna come along
So let me sleep, for I can't stand
Unwoken thoughts put me at ease
Moonshine come, I’m holding fast
And I got a feeling that it won't last
So darkness rise and take me home
I’m going under to forever be alone
Well I’m going down to forever be alone
Said I’m going down to forever be alone

Solid Ground

The rain, it poured down for days
And I’m feeling like running away in a haze
With my sorrow and my tears
My spirit is choking on you fear
I looked up to the sky, my hands were reaching out
Stumbled down, yea, I stumbled to the ground
Solid ground, is what I need
Solid ground, so hard to find
Ooo that solid ground
Where I’m bound
Listen to the music in your heart
And see how hope can be your guide
All I ever wanted was you by my side
Now I’m holding on to dreams, start to wonder why
Solid ground, is what I need
Solid ground, so hard to find
Solid ground
Where I’m bound
Solid ground, is what I need
Said, solid ground, so hard to find
Ooh, solid ground, is where I’m bound
Solid ground
Now I’m found

All you party people, won't you gather 'round,
Listen to the swampy sound that The Budrows are throwin' down,
We gotta girls that's scratchin' washboard,
A man that's blowin' harp,
I got the cigar box guitar right here, and that footstompin' bout to start...
I love to boogie
All you tattooed women, won't you get in line,
If you show me yours pretty baby, I will show you mine,
I gotta forty-five pistol on my hip back in 1999,
You have got a rattle snake going up and down your spine...
I love to boogie
You say that you like whiskey,
You like them swampy blues,
Well you're in luck cause we like both, and here's what we're gonna do,
We're gonna jump back in the alley, drink down a bottle or two,
Gonna howl, and sing, and do that thing that The Budrows love to do...
I love to boogie
