Bread On The Table lyrics

There's a picture of Jesus

Hanging over my head

And it smiles at me all the way down

I wonder if he sees us

Or what he sees instead

And I wonder if he'll ever come around



And there's gold for the taking

Lyin' on the ground

Here in the land of the free

Tell me was I mistaken

Or did I hit the wrong town

'Cause it sure was not waiting for me



There's no bread on the table

There's clouds on the sun

And I'm riding' out with a price on my head

I'm willing and able

To do what must be done

So my babies sleep safely in bed



When I came here they welcomed me

With their arms open wide

But that was a long time ago

Brought my wife and my family

I brought along my pride

Can you tell me where did it go



And there's gold for the taking

Lyin' on the ground

Here in the land of the free

Tell me was I mistaken

Or did I hit the wrong town

'Cause it sure was not waiting for me



There's no bread on the table...
