There ain’t no bread in the bread box
|
'Cause we ain’t got no dough
|
And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time
|
To go foolin' around no more
|
I’ve been working so hard for oh so long
|
What’ve you got to show?
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Let’s pack up your things and go
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Don’t want to live here no more
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Been here for far too long
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
It’s time to move along
|
It was late into December
|
On a cold winter day
|
I’d just finished bringing wood into the kitchen
|
When I heard my Amanda say
|
She said «Elijah, you better look around
|
Things ain’t like they used to be
|
Times getting hard for you and me
|
Come on daddy, it’s time to shake things down»
|
There ain’t no bread in the bread box
|
'Cause we ain’t got no dough
|
And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time
|
To go foolin' around no more
|
I’ve been working so hard for oh so long
|
What’ve you got to show?
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Let’s pack up your things and go
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Don’t want to live here no more
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Been here for far too long
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
It’s time to move along
|
Later head down in the middle of the city and I went up to her flat
|
Trying to make it through life with my child and my wife
|
And the world upon my back
|
I said sweet thing, you better hold me tight
|
Things ain’t like they used to be
|
Times are hard for you and me
|
Come on baby, it’s time to make things right
|
There ain’t no bread in the bread box
|
'Cause we ain’t got no dough
|
And it’s seems like we ain’t got enough time
|
To go foolin' around no more
|
I’ve been working so hard for oh so long
|
What’ve you got to show?
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Let’s pack up your things and go
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Don’t want to live here no more
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
Been here for far too long
|
Open up your eyes little darling
|
It’s time to move along |
