Johnny Cash
Beans for Breakfast
[Verse 1]
I couldn't hear you for the TV
I didn't know you said goodbye
I saw your cancelled check for the airfare
Didn't know flying got so high
[Chorus]
Beans for breakfast once again
Hard to eat 'em from the can
I've run out of clean utensils
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
[Verse 2]
I heard the crows outside my window
Guess it's me they're talking about
The fire you lit has burnt to cinders
Every good thing's fizzled out
[Chorus]
Beans for breakfast once again
Hard to eat 'em from the can
Wish you'd come back and wash the dishes
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
[Verse 3]
Caught a cold with the windows open
Crow droppings on my window sill
Probably got histoplasmosis
Got no gun or I would kill them crows
[Chorus]
Beans for breakfast once again
Hard to eat 'em from the can
Plastic forks are a dime a dozen
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
[Verse 4]
Finally made it to the mailbox
Felt so bad I thought I'd die
All I got was a bill from my doctor
Well, I guess flying ain't so high
[Chorus]
Beans for breakfast once again
Hard to eat 'em from the can
Blue tick mattress cold and greasy
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
[Interlude]
The house burned down from the fire
That I built in your closet by mistake
After I took all them pills
But I got out safe in my duck head overalls
[Outro]
Beans for breakfast once again
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
Hum
