The Boatswains - Chicken Fried Stank Lyrics

Met her in a café
On a cloudy afternoon
She was eatin' a chicken fried dinner
I was eating Jello with a spoon
She invited me to the park
As the sunlight kissed her eye
I wish I could have known from the start
That it was one fat greasy lie

Chicken fried stank
Breaking up my heart
Chicken fried stank
Tearing me apart
How I'm gonna rid myself of this pain
I haven't got a clue
But one thing is for certain
I've got to get rid of these chicken fried blues

Met her on a subway
As she rode from out of town
She seemed to have a nice way
But I sort of feared her frown
I tried to take her out to dinner
Even though I'm a little shy
But when I saw that wicked flag on her shirt
A tear fell from my eye

Chicken fried stank
Breaking up my heart
Chicken fried stank
Tearing me apart
How I'm gonna rid myself of this pain
I haven't got a clue
But one thing is for certain
I've got to get rid of these chicken fried blues

The pain you've caused is excruciating
The lies you've told are inconceivable
Look at this hurt in my eyes
Look at this hurt in my eyes
You know it's people like you that give the south
And parts of the mid-west a bad name
I hope the wheels fall off of your house
I hope the filthy wheels fall off of your filthy house

Chicken fried stank
Chicken fried stank
Chicken fried stank
