Eggs Of Your Chickens - The Flatlanders

I heard you say little darling we must do or die

Now everthing I'm doing I been dying to try

But I've stayed on your farm as long as I'm gonna stay

I've watched the eggs of your chickens roll away roll away

I've watched the eggs of your chickens roll away

It's real well known that the road gets long

That the will gets weak when the wind gets strong

But I'll stay on my feet as long as I can stay

Till the soles of my shoes wear away wear away

Till the soles of my shoes wear away

At love and at war it's a mighty high cost

To keep right on a fighting when the cause is lost

If you can't make the change you'll have to pay and pay

Till the seams in your pockets pull away pull away

Till the seams in your pockets pull away

My time and my attention are wearing kinda thing

You been taking it all for granted shoulda been taking it with a grin

You paint a pretty picture but your mind goes astray

When the image of your lover fades away fades away

When the image of your lover fades away

I like to move around I like to travel too

Sometimes I like to sit still like the mountains do

But I've stayed on your farm as long as I'm gonna stay

I've watched the eggs of your chickens roll away roll away

I've watched the eggs of your chickens roll away
