20 I'll Have The Bluegrass Special Ham And Beans
[Intro]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
[Verse 1]
Walked into the diner when the sun was low
Smell of country cookin’ in a warm night glow
Waitress with a wink said, “What’ll it be?”
And I knew right then what was callin’ me
[Verse 2]
She set down a menu with a friendly grin
Said, “We’ve got the best supper you’ll find within”
I tapped on the table with a steady beat
Said, “Bring me somethin’ hearty, warm, and sweet”
[Chorus]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
Served up hot with a side of Country dreams
Let that skillet sizzle with a down home gleam
That’s the finest supper in this whole cuisine
[Lead 1 – Flat‑Top Guitar]
[Verse 3]
Cook in the back had a rhythm goin’ strong
Humming to himself like a banjo song
Steam from the pot rose soft and slow
Like a fiddle tune driftin’ in a sunset glow
[Verse 4]
Cornbread cracklin’ in a cast‑iron pan
Mashed taters whipped by a steady hand
Green beans snappin’ with a country pop
And the whole place smelled like it’d never stop
[Chorus]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
Served up hot with a side of Country dreams
Let that skillet sizzle with a down home gleam
That’s the finest supper in this whole cuisine
[Lead 2 – Banjo]
[Verse 5]
Truckers rolled in from the highway bend
Talkin’ ‘bout the miles they’d still defend
They ordered big plates with a hungry cheer
Said, “Nothin’ beats a meal like the one right here”
[Verse 6]
Kids at the counter with their root beer floats
Old men laughin’ ‘bout their fishing boats
Every soul inside felt the evening ease
With the smell of supper driftin’ on the breeze
[Chorus]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
Served up hot with a side of Country dreams
Let that skillet sizzle with a down home gleam
That’s the finest supper in this whole cuisine
[Lead 3 – Fiddle]
[Verse 7]
When the night grew quiet and the stars came out
The cook wiped his brow with a satisfied shout
Said, “One more plate ‘fore I close this shack?”
I said, “Fill it up, friend — I’ll be comin’ back”
[Verse 8]
Paid my bill slow with a grateful smile
Said, “Meals like this make the trip worthwhile”
Stepped out the door with a full heart’s beat
And the taste of bluegrass lingerin’ sweet
[Chorus]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
Served up hot with a side of Country dreams
Let that skillet sizzle with a down home gleam
That’s the finest supper in this whole cuisine
[Lead 4 – Mandolin]
[Outro]
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
I’ll have the Bluegrass Special ham and beans
