  • You know I like my chicken fried
    And cold beer on a Friday night
    A pair of jeans that fit just right
    And the radio up

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

    It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most
    Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
    There's no dollar sign on a peace 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
    And 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
    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
    And 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
    And know a mother's love

    Get your little chicken fried
    And 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
    And know a mother's love Writer/s: Wyatt Durrette, Zac Brown

  • Cremen1960 from CaThis is awesome song. Why is " Chicken Fried" the Budweiser commercial song now? They're trying anything to get back in. So sad
  • Brenda from Cleveland,georgiaI have always loved your music
  • Marilyn from 18707Just listened to the Bare Necessities (The Jungle Book); drawn to songs that get to the nitty gritty of the things in life that matter.
  • Megan from Stevenson, AlDang! Me and buddies sing this on the bus on the way back from football games! I love band nerds:)
