Merle Haggard — Set My Chickens Free

I was born down south on a chicken farm In Nashville, Tennessee There weren't nothing there, but the sky full of air And ten thousand chickens and me So one day I said, "Hey hey hey" And then I dropped some vitamin C It blew my mind, I got real kind And set my chickens free Set my chickens free, I set my chickens free Got real kind, blew my mind, and set my chickens free We got chicken in the cauliflower, chickens in the corn Chickens in the bedroom, chickens in the barn We got chickens drivin' Cadillacs to Washington DC Set my chickens free I set my chickens free, man, I set my chickens free Blew my mind, got real kind, and set my chickens free Things got bad in the poultry game There weren't no cents in a flock So I said bye to my bullets, goodbye to my hens And I said bye to my big red cock I set my chickens free, man, I set my chickens free Got real kind, blew my mind, and set my chickens free (once more) Set my chickens free, yeah set my chickens free Got real kind, blew my mind, and set my chickens free
