I was on the road to Austin, I met a man on the highway

He sold me junk and conversation, he was wise and dirty from the weather

I said, "darkness into darkness, all the carnage of my journeys

Makes it harder to be living;" he said, "it's a long road to be forgiven"

 And it's Csus9one more Glife for the D5taker, D5Chickenman, hold my hand

 Csus9 G D5 D5 D5 [stop]

One more song for the maker (Chickenman, Chickenman, hold my hand)

I am an only child born of the wild

Riddled to spend my time defending my land

You are the only one born in the sun

Riddled to spend your time defending my plan
