Verse
1:
When I was just a little boy we lived out on a farm
Seven miles from
nowhere and a hundred miles from harm
We made our living from the dirt if
anything would grow
We got our country music from a big old radio
Chorus
We had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
Then we'd head out to the fields
a hoeing corn and mowing hay
Mama loved his singing, Daddy loved to hear him
play
We had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
Verse 2:
We had
a big old battery that ran the radio
Sometimes we'd run it down a listening
to the Opry show
But we all had our instruments and most of us could play
So we had Bill Monroe for breakfast anyway
Repeat
Chorus
Verse 3
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
We'd have Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
Repeat Chorus
