inspired by my total 1 day on the job hauling chickens

lyrics

You gotta work for a living 
Not everyone understands

Just trying to do better
Doing what we can

Most cowboys carry four
chickens in each in hand

Some need another hand to man their gun

8 chickens in the hand

If you ever take one too many tasks
If you’re holdin 4 chickens in each hand
And you’re wondering how long you’re gonna last 
just use don’t lose your head
Bunch em together like a pony tail
just remember what I said

8 chickens in the hand

8 Chickens in the Hand

This song was originally about a fictional entity with the characteristics of our friend Evan and a fat person but then I met Phil who was actually fat so I made most of it about him. 

Lyrics 

I know you want me
I know you see me
I know you need me
I know you do

I’ll eat the candy cakes
You eat my Oreos
I’ll never eat enough
I always want a second course

I broke the greasy chain
You got my fender bent
I ripped the button off
Wreck anything I want

Raise your hands 
Raise your hands for me
I won’t lie
I can’t hide my greed 
You can run 
You can’t hide from me
Tripped the hose
Broke your nose on the Crete

PHAT PHIL

I’ve been wanting to run run away from this place for so long
I’ve been waiting my whole life for something to take me away
I wish we could pack up our bags and find some place for just you and me
I wish we could throw in the towel but no thing in life ever comes free

I can feel the winds changing they change before my very eyes
They’re changing too fast oh so fast that I don’t think I’ll keep up this lie
I wish I could find a white whale thatd deliver me from this old life
I wish I could ride it away from this town and right into the sky

Hey
If I got what it takes
If I only knew how somebody like me could get out of this place

Its harder to break away when it feels Like I am where I belong
It’s everything that I have done that has helped me write all of my songs
I wish that we could live together and never work ever again
If I could just live for myself and stop dying for somebody else
