You know I like my chicken fried
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
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
-
And the radio up
Well I've seen the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
-
And know a mother's love
Well its funny how it's the simple things in life
that mean the most
Not where you live or the car you drive or the price tag
on your clothes
There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I've come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
