1
Well I was born in a small border town
2
And I left home at a young age and headed on down
3
And I started walking
4
Following a white line
5
I was on the side of a wild rush end freeway
6
With one pair of clothes and nothing else to my name
7
When a lorry would pass I would pick myself up with
8
A new coat of grit and a fresh layer of dust
9
I was dirty, fully covered
10
And just when the dirt started stinging my eyes
11
And I couldn't decide the ground from the sky
12
A man pulled over and offered a ride
13
So I took it, I ran right over
14
And I got in his truck and sat perfectly still
15
And he said 'I just gotta stop off at the mill'
16
I said 'You can take me wherever you will'
17
And I asked him 'What do they call you?'
18
And he answered 'Chicken Bill, they call me Chicken Bill'
19
Well, on account of the dirt he thought I was a man
20
And he reached out his mint and he shook my filthy hand
21
He said 'Boy, I got me a farm 'round the bend
22
And I could sure use the help if you got time to land,
23
Catching chickens, chopping their head off, locking them up'
24
All right, run around
25
So I worked for old Bill and his beautiful wife
26
Who would cook up a chicken for us every night
27
And just when I thought everything was alright
28
He sat me down, he said 'I'm skipping town,
29
Going ...around'
30
And I said 'How could you live such a woman behind?'
31
Then the look on his face helped me open my eyes
32
And for the first time I saw Chicken Bill's other side
33
He sat down beside me, all nervous and shy
34
And he told me the real story of Chicken Bill
