RADIOACTIVE CHICKEN (Outlaw Acid Country – greasy, glowing, slightly dangerous) Verse 1 Stopped at a truck stop off Exit 9 Neon buzzin’ like a busted power line Lady said, “Honey, it’s fresh today” But it was glowin’ in a peculiar way Grease poppin’ like a Geiger tick Smelled like heaven… looked like Chernobyl chic I said, “Wrap it up, I ain’t afraid” I’ve survived three exes and microwave steak Pre-Chorus That bird was hummin’ in the fryer light Buzzin’ low like a Saturday night Chorus Radioactive chicken on a paper plate Glows in the dark but it tastes first-rate Got that neon gravy, atomic spice Might lose my hair but it’s worth the price If this is how I go, let it be known I died with a drumstick in my hand, alone Radioactive chicken… set my soul on fire Cooked in a fallout deep fryer ⸻ Verse 2 Dashboard lit like a UFO sight After two thighs I could see through time My truck started floatin’ above Route 3 Steel guitar played in 3D I swear I saw Colonel Sanders grin Ridin’ a comet with a radiation hen Said, “Son, don’t fear the glowing wing It’s the secret of everything.” ⸻ Bridge (Trippy Breakdown) Gamma rays in the gravy boat Neutron crumbs in my overcoat Fried so hard it bent the sky I tasted the Fourth of July My teeth lit up like a jukebox sign I could hear the atoms keepin’ time Outlaw angels with extra legs Scramblin’ truth from cosmic eggs ⸻ Final Chorus (Big Southern Rock Explosion) Radioactive chicken, crank it loud Crowd goes wild in a mushroom cloud Grease on my beard, halo of steam Living the American fever dream If the world ends tonight, that’s fine Pass me a biscuit and one more thigh Radioactive chicken… neon divine Glows like mustard in the sunshine
