"No Chicken On The Bone"
(Bob Britt / Delbert McClinton / Dennis Wage)
feat. Self-Made Men

Listen up everybody 'cause I've got something to say
I might have fallen in love with a girl I just met today
I don't quite know how to feel
I can't believe she's real
Got me mumbling and stumbling around in a fuzzy haze

She makes pizza at the joint on the corner of Fifth and Main
I'm going back down there, I'm gonna ask her what's her name
Gonna tell her just how I feel
I can only hope that she'll
Maybe smile at me and say she feels the same

[Chorus 1:]
My heart started pounding like a runaway train
Knees started knocking when she called my name
Ain't nothing never never, ever gonna be the same

She's the one that brightens up my day
The sun shines on her even when it rains
I'd say it's plain to see
What's happening to me
I'm a different man than I was yesterday

[Chorus 2:]
She's the kind woman take away your breath
She's the kind of woman scare you have to death
She's the kind of woman don't leave no chicken on the bone

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3:]
She's the kind of woman take you way up high
She's the kind of woman set your world on fire
A woman like that, I just can't leave alone

[Chorus 2:]
She's the kind woman take away your breath
She's the kind of woman scare you have to death
She's the kind of woman don't leave no chicken on the bone
