( G5 )                               ( C5 ) 
Well it was mornin' when I left Alabama  
( D5 )                              ( G5 ) 
It must have been around in Mid July 
                                 ( C5 ) 
I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia 
       ( D5 )                                        ( G5 ) 
and the feathers was a flyin' like snow out of the sky...(lord) 
                                     ( C5 ) 
I couldn't get up the speed enough to pass him 
     ( D5 )                                ( G5 ) 
and a funny smell was a gettin' close to me 
                                    ( C5 ) 
and somethin' keeps on messin' up my windshield 
       ( D5 )                                ( G5 ) 
and the farther I go the harder it gets to see...(lord)

( G5 ) 
Chicken truck chicken truck behind it I'm stuck 
       ( C5 ) 
Chicken truck chicken truck it's just my luck  
       ( D5 )                    ( G5 ) 
Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five 
 
Well the hens are a sqwakin' and the roosters are a crowin' 
      ( C5 ) 
He's a slowin' me down when I need to keep goin'  
       ( D5 )                    ( G5 ) 
Chicken truck on Highway Sixty-Five

Well he slowed down and I finally got around him 
    ( D5 )                              ( G5 ) 
On a big long hill just south of Tennesee  
                                      ( C5 ) 
He had a box of Colonel Sanders on his dashboard 
      ( D5 )                                             ( G5 ) 
He was eatin' fried chicken and a throwin the bones on me...(yeah)
