DAY 4 - 7/16/20 - If life gives you chickens

If life gives you chickens

Fix’n tools and eat’n tacos
that’s the life I want to lead
feed’n chickens and eat’n nachos
that’s the life I want to lead
when I go up to heaven
and tell St Pete it’s nice to meet
When I ask how I can help
here’s what he’ll say to me
Fixin tools and eat’n tacos
that’s the after life you will lead
feed’n chickens and eat’n nachos
that’s what your after life will be

It’s the beauty of life
creating with my hands
it’s the oldest tradition
we humans seem to have

Well there’s a couple of things, that
I’d like to do
bake bread and cultivate
my own starter too
and I’ve already mastered
brewing my own beer
see it’s a holiday tradition
what we use to fuel
the cheers
what we use, what we use
it’s the booze we choose to cheers

Chorus

Speakin’ of tradition
tried to keep fishin
in the fam
nephews wouldn’t quit bitchin’
almost gave up on the plan
and now that they are grown
some even with kids of their own
I see them coming ‘round
it’s the longest line I’ve thrown

Chorus

Our garden chickens. During my time as a farm hand in Anderson Valley, CA. The first verse was written by my Uncle!
