Walked into the grocery store, thought I'd grab a dozen

Saw that price tag, Lord, I started cussin’

Used to be a buck or two, now it’s highway robbery

I swear that carton’s laughin’ as it’s starin’ back at me

Ain’t talkin’ gold, ain’t talkin’ gas

But I need a loan just to fry up some hash

🎸 The price of eggs done hit the sky!

💸 Gotta sell my truck just to make an omelet right

🥚 Ain’t no bacon, ain't no toast

🚜 Might start raisin’ chickens just to save my own soul!

🔥 Oh Lord, what’s the world come to?

When breakfast costs more than a tank of fuel!

Grandpa used to say, "Son, a farm ain't easy"

But these grocery bills got me feelin’ queasy

Thought about swipin’ one, but I ain't that bold

'Cause a carton’s worth more than a stack of gold

Ain’t no joke, ain't no game

Even billionaires feel the pain

🎸 The price of eggs done hit the sky!

💸 Gotta sell my truck just to make an omelet right

🥚 Ain’t no bacon, ain't no toast

🚜 Might start raisin’ chickens just to save my own soul!

🔥 Oh Lord, what’s the world come to?

When breakfast costs more than a tank of fuel!

(Slower, bluesy feel)

I used to dream ‘bout riches, big house on a hill

Now all I want’s a dozen eggs that don’t kill my bills

So if you see me in the backyard buildin’ a coop

Just know a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do

🎸 The price of eggs done hit the sky!

💸 Gotta sell my truck just to make an omelet right

🥚 Ain’t no bacon, ain't no toast

🚜 Might start raisin’ chickens just to save my own soul!

🔥 Oh Lord, what’s the world come to?

When breakfast costs more than a tank of fuel!

(Fading guitar, spoken:)

Ain’t askin’ for much, just a scrambled bite

Guess it's chicken farmin’ for me tonight...
