Five guys crammed in a Chevy van Digging change out of the seats to buy some gas One more slug it out roadhouse gig Looking back sometimes I miss The chicken wire Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire Beer dripping off the amplifiers Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed Paying dues and doing time Behind the chicken wire Running high on life and hungry Playing like we needed the money 'cause we did Had a ball getting black-balled from a motel or two Pretty girls passing phone numbers through The chicken wire Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire Beer dripping off the amplifiers Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed Paying dues and doing time Behind the chicken wire Pink underwear, folding chairs and one cue ball Lit cigarettes, dead presidents, man I've seen it all Thrown at The chicken wire Bottles breaking while the Fenders fire Beer dripping off the amplifiers Howl and scream, playing while your fingers bleed Paying dues and doing time Behind the chicken wire Stitched up, handcuffed by the boys in blue Duct tape, mama's prayers and a bad attitude Sleeping in the parking lot of a Waffle House Hey baby catch you next time we're in town The chicken wire Salt shakers, fifth of Makers, everything Thrown at the chicken wire
