Country Breakfast

from Free Range Muffins by Andrew Rodger

about

While Country Breakfast talks about life being a good horse, it is actually about my childhood dog, Odie.

For me, "home" is wherever my stuff is, but my "roots" are where I am from... Country Breakfast is my tribute to my roots - the hard work of my parents, to life on the farm and having a best bud to have adventures with when I was a kid.

lyrics

I used to run the rat race
I used to be on time
Used to drive a fast pace
I was afraid of trying
Used to stay up late night
Watching my TV
Lying awake waiting for my destiny
Lately I’ve been dreaming about a four-legged friend of mine
Just me and my best friend
Now I’m not afraid of dying
Yes lately I’ve been dreaming about a four-legged friend of mine
Just me and my best friend
Now I’m not afraid of dying
Not afraid of dying

Cause Life is a good horse
We go riding to the zoo
Life is a good horse
There ain’t nothing he can’t do
Life is a good horse
We go to the rodeo
Life is a good horse don’t ya know
Don’t ya know

Well put that full moon in your pocket
There’s enough light from these stars
Little black eagle flying overhead
Watching us till the soil
Well there’s a long row left to hoe
Yeah
Yeah our ship’s still out at sea
Dreams are like the beams holding up the barn
They’ll last forever if we build them strong
Yes dreams are like the beams holding up our barn
They’ll last forever if we build them strong
If we build them strong

Yeah cause Life is a good horse
We go riding to the zoo
Life is a good horse
There ain’t nothing he can’t do
Life is a good horse
We go to the rodeo
Life is a good horse don’t ya know
Don’t ya know

Don’t ya know

Well time on the farm
Makes your heart grow warm
Time on the land
Dreams of something grand
Well we could tend them free-range chickens
We could collect their free-range eggs
There’s nothing like a country breakfast
On a country sunny day
There’s nothing like a country breakfast
On a country sunny day

Hey hey

Cause Life is a good horse
We go riding to the zoo
Life is a good horse
There ain’t nothing he can’t do
Life is a good horse
We go to the rodeo
Life is a good horse don’t ya know
Don’t ya know
