Beggin' For Bacon

Verse 1

Sunrise through the window of my dusty pickup truck

Empty cup and empty pockets and I'm all out of luck

Trailer sitting crooked on a patch of borrowed land

Got a little piece of paper where I draw the weekly plan

Pre-Chorus

I've been down on my knees at the county line

Off'rin' up a prayer for a dollar nine

Chorus

I'm beggin' for bacon beggin' for bread

Scratchin' at the window when the pantry's dead

Gimme some gravy on that empty plate

Honey I'll be workin' just to stay up late

Beggin' for bacon

Verse 2

Preacher said the good Lord helps the ones who help themselves

So I'm out here fixin' fences out behind the old well

Got a jar of pennies and a coupon for the store

Knockin' on the back door hollerin' "Ma'am there's more"

Pre-Chorus

I've been down on my knees at the county line

Off'rin' up a prayer for a dollar nine

Chorus

I'm beggin' for bacon beggin' for bread

Scratchin' at the window when the pantry's dead

Gimme some gravy on that empty plate

Honey I'll be workin' just to stay up late

Beggin' for bacon

Bridge

Someday I'll be sittin' pretty with a full barn floor

But tonight I'm at your doorstep scratchin' at the door

Chorus

I'm beggin' for bacon beggin' for bread

Scratchin' at the window when the pantry's dead

Gimme some gravy on that empty plate

Honey I'll be workin' just to stay up late

Beggin' for bacon

Outro

Beggin' for bacon

Mm-mm beggin' for bacon
