Well, I’m sittin' here in a chicken store
Got a tall stack of papers and so much more
And a man is making me an offer I can’t turn down
I was living last year by the side of the road
I was walking into that great unknown
And I never really thought that things would turn around
I’ve got outlaws on my trail and a chicken store to sell
They’re coming down here looking for a fight
I’ve got scoundrels on my mind and I’m just a buyin time,
I’ve got outlaws on my trail tonight
Well, I borrowed some cabbage to get on my feet
But I just couldn’t seem to make ends meet
It was right about then those drifters called me up
Said I better meet them out at the edge of town
Or they’re going to stick me underground
And all I ever wanted was to make it out alive
I’ve got outlaws on my trail and a chicken store to sell
They’re coming down here looking for a fight
I’ve got scoundrels on my mind and I’m just a buyin time,
I’ve got outlaws on my trail tonight
