[Verse 1] Dust on his spurs Straw in his hair Leo the red rooster with a thousand-yard stare trying to get off the curb with his Heart in his throat 8 lanes of traffic on the blacktop road [Chorus] He’s got his baby on the other side all pruned up for his feathery bride Wings spread wide Flapping when the cars go faster Cock of the walk trying to cross the road ain’t no turning back gotta go go go [Verse 2] Hens in a circle Clucking his name That juicy sweet gobbler got him burning like a flame Chest puffed out like a county fair show Cock of the walk don’t you know know know [Chorus] He’s got his baby on the other side hair slicked back for his feathery bride Wings spread wide Flapping when the cars go faster Cock of the walk trying to cross the road ain’t no turning back gotta go go go [Bridge] That other rooster’s there polishing his comb Calling “Come on darlin’ I'll walk you home” Leo whispers “Lord clear this lane when I reach that coop She’ll be clucking my name [Chorus] He’s got his baby on the other side hair slicked back for his feathery bride Wings spread wide Flapping when the cars go faster Cock of the walk trying to cross the road ain’t no turning back just go go go [Outro] One deep breath One mad dash Feathers Gravel Squealing rubber Flash and a horn blowing by Why’d the chicken cross the road it’s because he couldn't FLY!
