Set My Chickens Free Merle Haggard

I was born down south on a chicken farm
In Nashville, Tennessee
There weren't nothing there, but the sky full of air
And ten thousand chickens and me

So one day I said, "Hey hey hey"
And then I dropped some vitamin C
It blew my mind, I got real kind
And set my chickens free

Set my chickens free, I set my chickens free
Got real kind, blew my mind, and set my chickens free

We got chicken in the cauliflower, chickens in the corn
Chickens in the bedroom, chickens in the barn
We got chickens drivin' Cadillacs to Washington DC
Set my chickens free

I set my chickens free, man, I set my chickens free
Blew my mind, got real kind, and set my chickens free

Things got bad in the poultry game
There weren't no cents in a flock
So I said bye to my bullets, goodbye to my hens
And I said bye to my big red cock
