"Egg Timer" lyrics

Two generation gaps between us
Two parents in one
I know you did your best
You and the egg timer

You're my father
And you were my mom and dad
I know you did your best
You and the egg timer

She took all your money
She left a note on the door
We had TV dinners
And we called her a whore

I hope you're proud of me
Like I am of you

Egg timer
You and the egg timer
Egg timer
You and the egg timer

Two hours of sleep at night
Two full time jobs
I know you did your best
You and the egg timer

We didn't go fishing, no
We didn't play ball
I know you did your best
You and the egg timer

Sixty minutes is as far as it goes
The egg timer
When I wanna take an hour to remember you in the past
I have the egg timer

I hope I never have to use it the way you did

Egg timer
Egg timer
