"I Hid and Found My Own Easter Eggs," a Sad Cowgirl Comedy Song by Jess Coffman

Last night my man left me
And I was covered in blue...
And Baby pink and green and yellow
My eggs and heart were dyeing too.

And because I drank all the beer,
and then watched a little porn...
I hid those eggs for myself,
And found them again,
On Easter morn.

Yes I hid all the Easter Eggs,
That were meant for you to hide,
And with tears I found them all again,
As my heart cracked inside.

And the Devil came and deviled them,
And by noon I was fine,
Face covered in paprika,
I was saved in Easter Egg time.

And as I sit with my own eggs,
I can count them in one hand,
Thinking of the the days when you were mine,
My egg fertilizing man.

So I guess I'll wait another year,
And hope you'll bring your tractor by,
To plow me, some furrows for my eggs to grow,
Or maybe I'll let 'em dye.

This is my Easter Blues...and my Goodbye!

This silly song was born out of a lonely Easter afternoon and a challenge from an ex-boyfriend. I made a joke about how I should write a sad cowboy song called "I Hid and Found All My Own Easter Eggs," and he said "Please send that to me when you're finished." And with pleasure...I did. There really aren't many Easter songs out there, but this one is obviously unconventional in that it is not at all reverent or religious of the holiday. It may or may not be all about sex, it may or may not be all about Easter egg metaphors, it may be a little of both...it's for you to decide.
