GOLDEN EGG
THERE’S A CERTAIN AESOP FABLE PEOPLE READ
THE MORAL OF THAT STORY’S ABOUT GREED
SAYS THAT WHEN YOU WANT MORE THAN YOU GOT
INEVITABLY LOSE WHAT’S IN YOUR POT
LIKE SOME DOG WHOSE HABIT IS TO BEG
OR A FOOL WHO’S HOPPING ON ONE LEG
WHY KEEP WAITING ON A GOOSE TO LAY THE GOLDEN EGG?
AMBITION’S THERE TO GET YOU OUT OF BED
BUT WAY TOO MUCH REALLY SCREWS YOUR HEAD
KNOWING WHERE TO DRAW THAT LINE IS HARD
LIKE JUDY SAID, “IT’S RIGHT IN YOUR BACKYARD”
LIKE A FOOL WHO AIN’T AFRAID TO BEG
FROM SOME BIRD THAT TAKES YOU DOWN A PEG
SO WHY KEEP LOOKING FOR A GOOSE TO LAY THE GOLDEN EGG?
WHEN THE RABBIT FOOT FUR IS ALL RUBBED DOWN
AND MAGIC WANDS HAVE ALL LEFT TOWN
WHEN WILL THERE EVER BE ENOUGH?

Hey Paul,
Thanks. Yeah, I think Wes and I also think it’s one of our best tunes and recordings yet…if we dare say so. And we do…dare.
