Beans for Breakfast Songtext

von Johnny Cash

I couldn't hear you for the TV
I didn't know you said goodbye
I saw your canceled check for the airfare
Didn't know flyin? got so high

FIRST 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

I heard the crows outside my window
Guess it's me they're talkin? about
The fire you lit has burned to cinders
Every good thing's fizzled out

SECOND 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

Caught a cold with the window open
Crow droppings on my window sill
Prob?ly got histoplasmosis
Got no gun or I would kill them crows

THIRD 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

Finally made it to the mailbox
Felt so bad I thought I'd die
All I got was a bill from the doctor
Well I guess flyin? ain't so high

FOURTH 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

The house burnt 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

CHORUS
Beans for breakfast once again
I'm a hungry nasty lonesome man
Humm?
