Chicken Fried

Zac Brown told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville (Source Chicken Fried Songfacts).: "The song is basically just a list of all the things that I love. Pretty much, this is who we are. And granted it was four or five years ago when we finished the song and we wrote it, but that's the roots, and basically it's like the more we get along and the older we get, there's very few songs that you can say 'I believe in,' and those are the things that I want to write about and sing about. And that was just one of those things that was captured in that song."

[Intro] You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up [Verse 1] Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia Pine And that's home you know Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine where the peaches grow And my house it's not much to talk about But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground [Chorus] And a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sun rise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love [Verse 2] It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind This I've come to know So if you agree, have a drink with me Raise your glasses for a toast [Chorus] To a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sun rise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love [Interlude] [Verse 3] I thank God for my life And for the stars and stripes May freedom forever fly, let it ring Salute the ones who died The ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice All the things we love [Chorus] Like our chicken fried And cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sun rise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love Get your little chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've done seen the sun rise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love
