Chicken Fried is the hit single that put the Zac Brown Band on top of the Billboard Hot Country chart. Originally written in 2003 by Zac Brown and Wyatt Durrette, this feel-good country anthem was first recorded in 2003. It was later re-recorded and released in 2008 on their album The Foundation.

From my basement recordings collect made in June of 2013. Yea, it took a while to get to me but I was overseas at the time...
Oh just for the record, I released it on YouTube exactly 11 years & 1 min after recording the take. So you could say it was to the minute.

Lyrics:
You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
And that's home you know
Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
Where the peaches grow
And my house it's not much to talk about
But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground

And a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up

Well I like to the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

Well its funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live or what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I've come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise you glasses for a toast

To a little bit of chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up

Well I like to the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love

I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice
All the things we love

Like our chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up

Well I like to the sunrise
See the love in my woman's eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother's love
