Lyrics

Chicken Scratch

I feel like a chicken at her scratch. A thousand chickens at my back. Tryin to get outside this coop to find a quiet place to roost. I got it goin, goin fast. Like a chicken at her scratch. I can’t say yes. I can’t say no. I need some time to call my own.
I gotta, gotta get up, gotta gotta get up and go. Yea I gotta, gotta get up, gotta, gotta get up and go. Why they always pecking, pecking on me. Why they always peckin, pecking on me. I’ll admit I’m out of gas. A thousand chickens at my back. Get your little beaks away, I’m headed outside to play. I gotta, gotta get up, gotta gotta get up and go. Yea I gotta, gotta get up, gotta, gotta get up and go. No More, No more peckin, peckin on me. No more, no more peckin, peckin on me.
