Freezing rain, they said

Might turn to sleet once the sun goes down

Potentially, up to an eight of an inch accumulation in the northwestern most tip of the state

Well down here in the south, that just means one thing

Milk and bread, milk and bread

gotta make a run on the milk and bread

should stay home like the weather man said,

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

Grab my insulated coveralls, bag of tools in case the engine stalls

Fire up a fresh hot pot of joe, warm my belly while I’m on the go

Get my scarf, my hat, gloves and boots, And that ol’ red, threadbare union suit

Hurry up now, gotta get down there, won’t take long ‘fore those shelves are bare

Milk and bread, milk and bread

gotta make a run on the milk and bread

should stay home like the weather man said,

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

Dust off them ol’ army MRE's, ‘case we get stranded and we need to eat

Throw in a roll of toilet paper or three, we all know how empty that shelve’ll be

Open up the faucets, cut the main, grab the tow rope, get the tires chained

Get the saw, and the shovel and some gasoline, that ol’ flame thrower, and a can of propane

Milk and bread, milk and bread

gotta make a run on the milk and bread

should stay home like the weather man said,

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

Milk and bread, milk and bread

gotta make a run on the milk and bread

should stay home like the weather man said,

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread

but we gotta make a run on the milk and bread
