The Chicken

[00:26.35] The chicken wakes up like she does every morning

[00:34.31] To the sounds of her husband's screams

[00:39.64] Sat in the dark on the eggs she is warming

[00:44.96] She closes her eyes and dreams of walking to Memphis, becoming a dentist

[00:55.85] Anything but this

[01:01.43] I mean, she likes her life as a mother and wife but is that all she is?

[01:12.32] She stares out the window

[01:20.55] The very next morning, the chicken decides to make her escape, get a taste of freedom

[01:31.71] She runs out the coop that her life's been confined to

[01:37.29] Suddenly sees the thing she's only dreamed of

[01:42.07] Just up ahead, gophers run through a meadow

[01:47.91] Deer graze, birds sing

[01:52.96] Her future is waiting, right there for the taking

[01:58.27] There's just one thing the chicken must first cross the road

[02:21.64] The road

[02:22.71] A sea of trees and green and moss

[02:26.96] Waiting just across the road, the road

[02:35.99] A life of brighter days, a width of road away

[02:43.70] The road is gigantic, the chicken is little

[02:51.66] She moves ahead left-right-left, right-left-right

[02:57.77] All of a sudden, she stops in the middle

[03:03.88] Frozen in place by a pair of headlights

[03:09.73] It's anyone's guess what then happened next

[03:15.30] But most think she died

[03:23.01] But I think we ought to believe that she got to the other side

[03:36.55] So, that's why she did it

[04:03.11] Goodbye
