French Toast

French Toast - Jim Tyrrell

I play a lot of bars and restaurants like this one
Sometimes they feed me, sometimes I gotta pay
Either way it's a meal, and it's a bad idea to miss one
'Cause who knows what else I'm gonna find along the way

And it's a long long road that I follow
But if I drive like hell I can get myself home tomorrow
And in the morning I'll be waking up to French toast and bacon
And the road will seem a million miles away

I always tell myself that this time will be different
I'm gonna book my shows with a little time to spare
That way I can eat my meals at a sit-down diner
And not just stop at a gas station here and there

But if I can hit that road as soon as I am able
I'll be back with my family round the breakfast table
And in the morning we'll be waking up to French toast and bacon
And the road will seem a million miles away

Instr.

I can't complain about the way I make my living
But you'd be crazy to think I'm living like a star
My job is basically just moving my equipment
With a break in the middle where I get to play guitar

So after this song my time to work is arriving
I got a little gear to load and i got a shitload of driving
And in the morning I'll be waking up to French toast and bacon
And the road will seem a million miles away

I'm gonna go all night if I hafta
I love it on the road but now it's home that I'm after
And in the morning we'll be waking up to French toast and bacon
And the world will seem a million miles away
And the world will seem a million miles away

French Toast
by WreckdoM

You're getting burnt out and you're all chewed up,
Your mind's getting tangled into all kinds of stuff.
It's getting you grumpy and it's making you rude,
It's got you permutating out a bad attitude.
Cool down, Slow your roll
You've got a blow your stack attack and it's killing your flow.
Relax, Slow your roll
Take a chill pill and keep it real like my man French Toast.

Walk to the park or drive to the beach,
Bring along some lemonade, sandwiches, and chips.
Go out for a show or go home and take a nap.
Make a couple phone calls to family and friends.
Cool down, Slow your roll
My man French Toast drives a car made of solid gold.
Relax, Slow your roll
Get some silk underpants like my man French Toast.

Just like the car wreck in Pierrot Le Fou
I don't know if I like you
Too clever to stand
I feel my animosity being fanned
I don't want it to ruin a thing
But the good will's goin fast
And I don't think this is gonna last

Assis sur une chaise dans la cuisine
Wish I hadn't made you my queen
Placez le pain dans les œufs
We won't survive under the same roof

What was once cute
Is gonna make me lose my mind
Une voix comme la vôtre
I think I might just give you the boot
Except for one thing, this is your house
What do I do now

Assis sur une chaise dans la cuisine
Wish I hadn't made you my queen
Placez le pain dans les œufs
We won't survive under the same roof
This relationship is toast

Good morning, we’re waking up together
And now we can start our day
Last night you kissed me, I don’t know how it started
And now we are on our way

Em Cm x3
D# F

One look in your eyes
I’ll have to improvise
what is there to eat
Breakfast is so very important

G F-G G
C A# C A# A#-C-A#

Bread, bread, put it in the pan
I’m making French Toast

G Bm D D

I’m worried, there’s not much in the kitchen
then you say you have to go
I’m sorry, just give me one more minute
then you turn on the today show

One look in my eyes
You have to let me try
to find something to eat
Breakfast is so very important

Bread, bread, put it in the pan
I’m making French Toast
