Musical Mondays: Chicken Fried

A few months ago Rocky and I discovered the Zac Brown Band. We were actually riding in the car one night and listening to a country radio station, and one of their songs came on. I told Rocky, "You know, I've heard a few of their songs on Pandora and on regular radio, and I really like them!" And Rocky looked at me with this surprised look on his face and said, "Really?! Me too!"

That night we bought one of their albums on Amazon.

I find myself really enjoying their happy-catchy-fun sound, lots of acoustic guitar and fiddle, and amazing harmonies.

This song is my first favorite of theirs (even though I change the 2nd line to tea, or milk, or something else :)  but it definitely won't be my last. Watch the official video here (they've disabled embedding for it :(   or the live video below.



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
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
Know a mother's love.

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
In my house it`s not much to talk about
But it`s filled with love that`s grown in southern ground

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 sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love

Well its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live, the car 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

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 sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love

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

Like our 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 sunrise
See the love in my woman`s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother`s love
