The Dirty Chain Gang Rides: Unfamiliar Territory

"...Chicken truck chicken truck behind it I'm stuck

Chicken truck chicken truck it's just my luck chicken truck on Highway 65

Well the hens are a squakin' and the roosters are a crowin'

Slowin' me down when I need to get goin' chicken truck on Highway 65..."

I went through this country music period once't in ma life. I don't know why. I can make no sense of it anymore. Not a whole lot of that has stuck with me through the passing of years - Dwight Yokum, Emmylou Harris, and "Chicken Truck" by John Anderson.

Some days it just seems like you're that chicken truck a blockin' up the road, er... trail, as the case may be. Throw in the reality of a trail you haven't cast curses at, let alone laughed in the face of mayhem on, in more than a full cycle of seasons, thus making it nearly unfamiliar and... hmm, hmm. Choosing the wrong line and that decisions' resultant foot down seemed to be a reoccurring theme. Well anyway...

Good to kick up dirt again with the DCG - a couple extra Mikes and Michaels, Pete, Richard, Trish, Elizabeth, Roger, Oscar, Pamela who FB has finally decided bears no similarity to myself, Gary, John, Barry, and I believe that was everyone saddled up for some fun in the sun.
