Chicken Hearted

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My girlfriend slipped and fell

Now she's hanging from a cliff

I can't come to her rescue

But these flowers I must sniff

You see I'd really like to save her

but I aint got the nerve

I'm chicken hearted

I'm chicken hearted

I'm tryin' to kiss my girl

And it makes me want to faint

I'm scared of my own shadow

And afraid of what I ain't

I've no inspiration

I'm kinda yellow...

I'm chicken hearted,

I'm chicken hearted

Mama's in the workshop

Daddy's in the jail

I seem to be afraid

To go to work and make their bail

I guess my folks will have

I'm chicken hearted,

I'm chicken hearted
