Sidewalk Chicken from Heavy Lifting by Loose Cattle

SIDEWALK CHICKEN
Michael Cerveris

My dog she’s a hungry girl
Best damn dog in the whole damn world
Go walking in the neighborhood
Get to the corner and it’s understood
Nose to the ground ‘cause she knows she’ll find
Something tasty been left behind

It’s that sidewalk chicken
Sidewalk chicken
Finger lickin’
Sidewalk chicken
You know it’s greasy, you know it’s no good
Know when you’re done, well it’s understood it’s
Sidewalk chicken
Oh yeah

I know a girl from around the way
Take what she wants and throws the rest away
Don’t bother to apologize
You give her love, she tries it on for size
So sad, sorry to say
I knew that girl from around the way

She likes the sidewalk chicken
Sidewalk chicken
Timebomb tickin’
Sidewalk chicken
You know it’s greasy, you know it’s no good
Know when you’re done, well it’s understood that it’s
Sidewalk chicken
Oh yes oh yeah

Get up, you gotta get in line
Gotta get your bite of that daily grind
Government feeding you lies and fear
Jesus hanging from the rear view mirror
Too many folks being left behind
Hunting for scraps like that dog of mine

For that sidewalk chicken
Sidewalk chicken
Cold and sickenin’
Sidewalk chicken
Know it’s easy, you know it’s no good
But when it’s done, well it’s understood
It’s sidewalk chicken
Sidewalk chicken
Finger lickin’
Sidewalk chicken
Rich man wants everything you own
Takes the meat and gives you the bone
You’re just sidewalk chicken
