Take Them Roosters,Take'em Fast Now! (Extended 1)

[Verse 1] Stealin chickens to pay my fines

Down that broken fence line

Gotta be fast, feet hit the red dirt

Pockets itching, hopes hurt

Just a bag, heavy on my left arm

A single cluck, night stays calm

Maybe the moon sees

Maybe the dogs do too

Stone silence soggy, sweat on my brow

One wrong move, caught now

But I got that taste, that thrill for the win

Out the pen, let’s begin

[Chorus] Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Low to the ground, just right

Don’t make a sound, don’t get caught tonight

Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Risking it all for a chance at life

Every step, I’m rolling dice

[Post-Chorus] Take dem roosters (take ‘em fast now)

Take dem roosters (don’t look back now)

[Verse 2] Chilly wind, chasing time and trouble

Flash a grin, slip inside that bubble

Maybe I hide, maybe I stay unseen

Maybe whispers dart across the green

Tightrope walking fences, I’m a shadow blending

Cash in the corner, luck never ending

One word and the deal goes broke

One squawk and the plan is smoked

I keep on crawling, night’s my friend

Pennies for my pain, chase till the end

[Chorus] Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Low to the ground, just right

Don’t make a sound, don’t get caught tonight

Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Risking it all for a chance at life

Every step, I’m rolling dice

[Post-Chorus] Take dem roosters (take ‘em fast now)

Take dem roosters (don’t look back now)

[Bridge] Maybe the fines fade in the morning sun

Maybe I run, maybe I don’t run

A bag of feathers, freedom’s price

Just another night, rolling dice

I stay low, lost in the grass

One short call, let it pass

[Chorus] Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Low to the ground, just right

Don’t make a sound, don’t get caught tonight

Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Risking it all for a chance at life

Every step, I’m rolling dice

[Post-Chorus] Take dem roosters (take ‘em fast now)

Take dem roosters (don’t look back now)

[Verse 3] Breeze in the holler, creepin real slow

Top of the mountain, where the tall trees grow

Stealin chickens, that’s just how it goes

Another damn warrant? Nobody knows

Moonshiners out, they wide awake

Metheads pacing, raising the stakes

Dodgin shotguns, dogs on alert

Swamp muddied boots, caked in dirt

Ain’t no sirens, it’s just me and fate

Crooked landowner watching at the gate

Hillbilly boss, riggin’ the fight

Took my last dollar, now I’m back tonight

Fed my rooster some poison, that cheat

Set me up dirty, tryna knock me off my feet

[Chorus] Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Low to the ground, just right

Don’t make a sound, don’t get caught tonight

Gotta sneak in to the cock fights

Hush now

Risking it all for a chance at life

Every step, I’m rolling dice

[Post-Chorus] Take dem roosters (take ‘em fast now)

Take dem roosters (don’t look back now)
