Beans and Dreams

[Verse] In a cabin by the river, where the pine trees grow tall, Grandma's in the kitchen, startin' evening's call. Cast iron skillet on that old wood stove, She's whippin' up a meal that warms to the bones. [Verse 2] Daddy's mending fences, while Mama pulls the weeds, Brother’s chopin' firewood, as the daylight concedes. Dog's chasin' shadows, oh how he loves to play, We gather 'round the table, at the end of the day. [Chorus] Beans and dreams in a bowl, Fillin' our hearts and souls. With every bite, we find delight, In the simple things we know. Beans and dreams, keep us whole. [Verse 3] We pass around the cornbread, baked golden and bright, Pour a dash of hot sauce, for a little bit of bite. Grandpa tells his stories, of days long ago, While the scent of supper, sets our hearts aglow. [Bridge] Out in the city, they've got fancy meals, But they don't know the way simple living feels. Nothing tastes as sweet, as this humble life, Where beans and dreams get us through the strife. [Chorus] Beans and dreams in a bowl, Fillin' our hearts and souls. With every bite, we find delight, In the simple things we know. Beans and dreams, keep us whole.
