There ain't no bread in the bread box

Because we ain't got no dough

It's seems like we ain't got enough time to go fool around no more

You been working so hard for oh so long

What do you got to show?



Open up your eyes little darling

Lets pack up your things and go

Open up your eyes little darling

Don't want to be here no more

Open up your eyes little darling

Been here for 'bout too long

Open up your eyes little darling

It's time to move along



Late in december, on a cold winter day,

I 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 is getting hard for you and me. Come on daddy, it's

time to shake things down."



CHORUS



Little way down in the middle of the city and I went up to ???

Trying to make good for my wife, with my child in my lap and

with 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.



CHORUS
