Bill Monroe For Breakfast

Tom T Hall

farm Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred miles from harm We grow And we got our country music from a } o. And; CHORUS We had day Then we'd head out to the fields, a-hoein' corn and mowin' hay Aw! play And we had Bill Monroe for day. We had a big old battery that ran the radio Sometimes we run it down, listenin' to the Opry Show But we all had our instruments and most of us could play So, we had Bill Monroe for breakfast, anyway. CHORUS Mama was a lady and my daddy liked to preach All we ever had was just a place to eat and sleep If I could go back home again, back to the simple ways Oh, we'd have Bill Monroe for breakfast ev'ry day. TAG: We had Bill Monroe for breakfast ev'ry day. SOURCE: TOM T. HALL/HOMEGROWN
