Burnt Beans Blues

Got my beans on the flame, thought I'd be alright She called me up, said she's leaving tonight Turned back around, smoke filled the room Now it's burnt beans, lost love and a heart full of blues Oh, burnt beans on the stove, love gone cold Nothing but ashes and a story that's old In this kitchen fog, it's plain to see All I got left's these burnt beans and me She took my heart, left it charred like this pan Guess a pot of black beans is my final hand Tried to scrape them clean, but they're stuck real tight Just like her memory, burning all night Oh, burnt beans on the stove, love gone cold Nothing but ashes and a story that's old In this kitchen fog, it's plain to see All I got left's these burnt beans and me Ain't no comfort in a heart gone black Taste of smokin' dreams, can't bring them back Beans in the trash, love down the drain Just me and these beans, deep fried in pain So if you see me walking, humming slow It's the burnt bean blues, I want you to know Love gone up in smoke and steam! Left here with nothing but burnt bean dreams Oh, burnt beans on the stove, love gone cold Nothing but ashes and a story that's old In this kitchen fog, it's plain to see All I got left's these burnt beans and me.
