Makin' Bacon -

Another morning

I’m still in mourning

An empty space where she once lived

But tiny footsteps

Dance down the stairwell

Reminders of the joy she gives

I feel so sad

Yet seldom am I lonely

With those little grins to greet the day

Two mouths to feed

My precious one-and-onlies

Gotta keep 'em smiling with all I say

So I’m singing

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Singing

I’m makin' bacon

Daddy’s makin' bacon

Cooking up some love to feed my family, hey

I sip my coffee

Wave to the school bus

Avoid the mess, avoid my pain

I roll some papers

Crush those leafy crystals

Breathe deep, inhale my sinful lover Mary-Jane

I get so high

But never am I happy

A double shift still looms today

I gotta work

But, man, do I feel crappy

Gotta keep on grinding and still get paid

So I’m

Makin' bacon

Gotta make the bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Singing

I’m sick of fakin'

Gotta quit this wake and bakin'

Gotta make that bacon, gotta feed my family

I think I’m ready

To turn some pages

Rewrite this tale, the end’s not done

Be with a partner

'Cause it’s been ages

I’m craving love and some big boy fun

I could swipe right

Or try to digitize her

But robo-dating ain’t for me, no

I’ll stick with bars

Dance halls, picnics, parties

Old-school socializing sets me free

And then

Rooms melt

Eyes meet

Souls merge

The clouds beneath your feet

A new friend

A true lover

And in an instant we’re rolling in the covers singing

Yeah!

So here’s the lesson

Of what I’ve told you

Just keep the faith and trust it’s not too long

When life is darkest

We must keep our light on

With humor, grace and sometimes

Singing songs

Oh, sing it with me now!

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Yeah!

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Yeah!

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Makin' bacon

Makin', makin' bacon

Yeah!
