[D] [A]
When I was just a little boy [D] we lived out [A] on a farm
Seven miles from nowhere and a hundred [E] miles from home
[A] We made our living from the [D] dirt if anything [A] would grow
And we got our country music from a big old radio
And [D] we had film and roll for breakfast [A] every day
Then we'd head out to the fields with a hoe and corn and [E] mow and hay
[A] Our mama loved to sing and [D] daddy loved to [A] hear him play
And we had film and [E] roll for breakfast [A] every day
[D]

[E] [A]
[D] [A]
We had a big old battery [D] that ran the [A] radio
Sometimes we'd run it down listening to the [E] opera show
[A] But we all had our instruments [D] and most of us [A] could play
So we had film and roll [E] for breakfast [A] anyway
We [D] had film and roll for breakfast [A] every day
Then we'd head out to the fields with a hoe and corn and [E] mow and hay
[A] Mama loved to sing and [D] daddy loved to hear [A] him play
We had film and roll [E] for breakfast [A] every day
Mama was a lady [D] and my daddy [A] liked to preach
All we ever had was just a place to eat and [E] sleep
[A] If I could go back home again [D] back to the [A] simple ways
Oh we'd have film and roll [E] for breakfast [A] every day
We [D] had film and roll for breakfast [A] every day
Then we'd head out to the fields with a hoe and corn and mow [E] and hay
[A] Our mama loved to sing and [D] daddy loved to hear [A] him play
And we had film and roll [E] for breakfast [A] every day
