I heard you say little darlin we must do or die
now everthing I'm doin I been dyin 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
while the soles of my shoes wear away...wear away
while the soles of my shoes wear away
at love and at war it's a mighty high cost
to keep right on a fightin 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 wearin kinda thin
you been takin it all for granted...shoulda been takin 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
