Bread & Honey

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Carl got a call in the night from the wife of a gamblin' man Cussin' him out 'bout the house she lost cause the house didn't win Carl said, "Ma'am, hell, it wasn't my hands pushin' all his chips in on the table" "I mighta been the devil in his ear, but your playboy ain't no angel" [Chorus] Diggin' ditches, burnin' bridges In the name of bigger paychecks It ain't cheatin' if you believe in Hearts and banks weren't made for breakin' Deeper pockets and empty lockets All it costs is sinful wages Bread and honey, love and money It's how you make it [Verse 2] Carl got a Rolex Carl got a Rolls-Royce Carl's on a roll right now Yeah, Carl's poppin' quaaludes Even when he takes two He don't sleep a wink somehow [Chorus] Diggin' ditches, burnin' bridges In the name of bigger paychecks It ain't cheatin' if you believe in Hearts and banks weren't made for breakin' Deeper pockets and empty lockets All it costs is sinful wages Bread and honey, love and money It's how you make it [Verse 3] Carl got a call from the boss Said his top-dollar dog just died And left his whole estate in the name of his newly widowed wife And she's broken, and he knows it And the thought it almost makes him cry But Carl's a good soldier He gon' make sure she ain't lonely tonight [Chorus] Diggin' ditches, burnin' bridges In the name of bigger paychecks It ain't cheatin' if you believe in Hearts and banks weren't made for breakin' Deeper pockets and empty lockets All it costs is sinful wages Bread and honey, love and money It's how you make it [Outro] Bread and honey, love and money It's how you make it
