Lyrics

You know I like my (G)chick en fried,

cold beer on a (D)Fri day night,

a pair of jeans that fit just right,

and the ra di o (G)up.

Well, I was (G)raised up be neath the shade of a Geor gia pine;

and that’s (D)home, you know.

(G)Sweet tea, pe can pie, and home made wine

where the (D)peach es grow.

And (G)my house, it’s not (D)much to talk a bout,

but it’s (G)filled with love that’s grown on South ern ground.

And a lit tle bit of chick en (G)fried,

cold beer on a (D)Fri day night,

a pair of jeans that fit just right,

and the ra di o (G)up.

Well, I see the (G)sun rise,

see the love in my (D)wom an’s eyes,

feel the touch of a (C)pre cious child and know a moth er’s (G)love.

It’s (G)fun ny how it’s the (D)lit tle things in life

that (D)mean the most; not (G)where you live,

(D)what you drive, or the (C)price tag on your clothes.

There’s no (G)dol lar sign on (D)peace of mind;

So if (G)you a gree, have a (D)drink with me; raise your (C)glass es for a toast to a lit tle bit of

so we don’t have to (C)sac ri fice

all the things we (G)love.

Like our chick en (G)fried,

cold beer on a (D)Fri day night,

a pair of jeans that fit just right,

and the ra di o (G)up.

Well, I see the (G)sun rise,

see the love in my (D)wom an’s eyes,

feel the touch of a (C)pre cious child and know a moth er’s (G)love.

Get ya lit tle (G)chick en fried,

cold beer on a (D)Fri day night,

a pair of jeans that fit just right,

and the ra di o (G)up.

I like to see the sun (G)rise,

see the love in my (D)wom an’s eyes,

feel the touch of a (C)pre cious child and know a moth er’s (G)love.
