Bill Monroe For Breakfast Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

When I was just a little boy we lived down on a farm 

Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred miles from harm 

We made our livin' from the dirt if anything would grow 

And we got our country music from a big old radio 

And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day 

Then we'd head out to the fields a hoein' corn and mowin' hay 

Aw mama loved his singin' daddy loved to hear him play 

And we had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day 

[Fiddle - Mandolin ]

We had a big old battery that ran the radio 

Sometimes we run it down a listenin' to the Oprah Show 

But we all had our instruments and most of us could play 

So we had Bill Monroe for breakfast anyway 

We had Bill Monroe for breakfast... 

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 every day 

We had Bill Monroe for breakfast... 

We had Bill Monroe for breakfast every day
