Egg Prices (Are Up Again)
Written by Ken "The King" Poirier

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strums]
[Sad steel guitar solo]
[Piano and fiddle join in]

[Break]

[Verse]
Seems like were working almost every day
Six times as hard for half the pay
Got to work an hour, just to buy a beer
Thinkin' back to what we used to do
we were at the bar, every night from 10 to 2
In to the old bed of the truck, we'd disappear
We'd look out at the stars
from the parking lot of the bar
And we'd smile and laugh away all of our fears.

Now it seems like fear is almost all we got..
But I sure miss those times a hell of a lot!
But not enough to call you on the phone...

[Chorus]
Jesus, Egg prices are up again, at the save-a-lot.
It's time to shit or get off the pot!
I'm tired of this "situationship"
When is this thing going to be a relationship?
If this ain't the time now, honey,
you better tell me when.
Or I'll be walking out on you again.
If you give away the milk for free,
Ain't nobody gunna buy that cow
And a man don't buy a tractor unless he needs a plow

[Interlude]

[Verse]
I heard that long ago folks were gay and marry
I saw it written in a cemetery.
Said the preacher to the family who were in mornin'.
They said Great men roamed across the earth
while their wives stayed home and warmed the hearth
At least that's the way I heard the story.
They tell me divorce rates are up today
just sad old news is what I say
what happened to when days were filled with glory

Now the glory all is gone,
a long lost forgotten song
You once sang to me when we were young...

[Chorus]
Jesus, Egg prices are up again, at the save-a-lot.
It's time to shit or get off the pot!
I'm tired of this "situationship"
When is this thing going to be a relationship?
If this ain't the time now, honey,
you better tell me when.
Or I'll be walking out on you again.
If you give away the milk for free,
Ain't nobody gunna buy that cow
And a man don't buy a tractor unless he needs a plow

[Verse]
They say a woman who loves a man is just a slave
Well then what do you call the job I do all day?
Sixty hours a week sah'lot to keep you dry!
Don't tell me it's a career!
Ain't nothing but a pain in my rear!
We'll slowly sink behind until we die!
If the lord gives me a man,
I'll be the best damn woman I can
I don't think I can get out of bed, but I'll try

I swear to God I'll go and delete my Instagram
All my tinder swipes will get sent to spam
If you just call me on the phone...
We'll never be alone...

[Outro]
Egg prices are up again, at the save-a-lot.
I'm tired of waitin' for you to shit or get off the pot!
I'm tired of this "situationship"
When is this thing going to be a relationship?
If this ain't the time now, honey,
you better tell me when.
Or I'll be walking out on you again.
If you give away the milk for free,
Ain't nobody gunna buy that cow
And a man don't buy a tractor unless he needs a plow
