[Verse 1]
I stand on the porch in my workday jeans
Sweatin' in the sun with my grocery dreams
Got a bag full of greens from the corner stand
And a heart full of miles that he won't understand

He leans in close with that sideways grin
Says, "Baby, there she goes again"
Talkin' 'bout my legs like it's some grand prize
But he don't see the thunder rollin' in my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel his whistle cut the sky
But I breathe in deep and I walk on by
Got peaches, peppers, collard leaves
And a whole world dancin' up my sleeves

[Chorus]
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
I'm a whole mood, not just talkin'
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
Got fruit in my bag, roots in my soul
I'm more than a joke in his drawlin' role
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)

[Verse 2]
I set down pie on the old wood rail
Say, "Boy, one day that charm might fail"
Sip my tea while I hide that laugh
'Cause he don't know I'm writin' my own path

Got tomatoes rollin' in a paper sack
Corn silk dreams runnin' down my back
He flaps his arms like he owns this farm
But I plant my feet and I hold my charm

[Pre-Chorus]
When he throws that line in the evening light
I let my shadow stand upright
Got apples, okra, tangerine
And a storm heart pulsin' in between

[Chorus]
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
Every step got the whole earth rockin'
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
Got fruit in my bag, roots in my soul
I'm more than a punchline he can't control
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)

[Bridge]
One day I sat him in that chair
Said, "You keep talkin', I still care"
"But baby, listen while I sing"
"These legs can march for their own damn thing"

"I'm sweet like berries, sharp like thyme
Growin' my garden on my own time"
He laughed, "Girl, you rule this roost"
I said, "Watch these legs, I got rocket boost"

[Chorus]
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
Now the beat of my heels is talkin'
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
Got fruit in my bag, roots in my soul
We dance through the fields till the church bells toll
Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?
(Did you see these chicken legs walkin'?)
