"Egg Timer"

two generation gaps between us, two parents in one, i know you did your best, you and the egg timer. you are my father, you were my mom and dad, i know you did your best you and the egg timer. see took all your money, she left a note on the door. we had t.v. dinners, and we called her a whore. i hope you're as proud of me like i am of you. 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 go fishing, and 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. if i want to take an hour to remember you in the past, i have the egg timer. i hoe i never have to use it the way you did.
