[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t talkin’ gold, ain’t talkin’ gas
But I need a loan just to fry up some hash

[Chorus]
🎸 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!

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain’t no joke, ain't no game
Even billionaires feel the pain

[Chorus]
🎸 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!

[Bridge]
(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

[Final Chorus]
🎸 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!

[Outro]
(Fading guitar, spoken:)
Ain’t askin’ for much, just a scrambled bite
Guess it's chicken farmin’ for me tonight...
