Bacon in My Beans
Bacon in My Beans: A Country Boy's Culinary Plea
Lyrics
Vs1
Introduction of Verse 1
First, let me say you're worth some sacrificing
Expressing willingness to make sacrifices for the relationship
There are few things I won't change to be with you
Indicating a willingness to change for the sake of the relationship
But I've got to say you're asking me for something
Acknowledging a challenging request from the partner
I'm not sure that I could ever do
Expressing uncertainty about fulfilling the partner's request
I'll cut my hair and go to church on Sundays
Listing potential changes, like cutting hair and attending church
I'll join the gym and try to stay real lean
Expressing a commitment to fitness
But if I could I'm asking one small favor
Requesting a small favor in return
I've got to have some bacon in my beans
Expressing a humorous need for bacon in his beans
Chorus
Introduction of Chorus
Bacon In my Beans, Bacon in my beans
Repetition of the need for bacon in beans
That's how a country boy survives
Highlighting bacon as essential for a country boy's survival
So, (please) baby don't be mean
Pleading for kindness from the partner
I'll cut back on the burgers make vegetables routine
Offering compromises like cutting back on burgers
But I've got to have some bacon in my beans
Reiterating the necessity of bacon in beans

Introduction of Verse 2
I know that it will help my circulation
Citing health benefits of bacon for circulation
And hogs across the country would be glad
Highlighting the positive impact on hogs nationwide
But beans with just a little salt and pepper
Criticizing bland beans without bacon
Can only be described as really bad
Describing unsatisfactory beans
I know that it's against your constitution
Recognizing partner's opposition to bacon
You've made it clear you think it's obscene
Labeling the partner's view as against one's constitution
But I can't help the way my mama raised me
Explaining influence of upbringing on bacon preference
I've got to have some Bacon in my Bacons
Emphasizing the need for bacon in one's life
Vs3
Introduction of Verse 3
Well, you know I really love your sweet potatoes
Expressing love for partner's sweet potatoes
And Almond milk in Raisin Bran's just fine
Accepting non-meat options in breakfast cereal
I'll even eat your spinach quiche for breakfast (I'll even learn to drink(like) your wheatgrass Smoothies)
Listing willingness to try various health-conscious meals
And your tofu lasagna with red wine
Mentioning tofu lasagna and red wine in a compromise
I know you're looking out for my best interest
Acknowledging partner's concern for well-being
But baby there just ain't no in-between
Stating the impossibility of compromise in this matter
I promise you you'll never have to eat em
Promising to spare the partner from disliked foods
But I've got to have some bacon in my beans
Reiterating the crucial role of bacon in beans
