| 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
|
