[Chorus]
There ain't no bread in the breadbox
'Cause we ain't got no dough
And it 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 wanna 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

[Verse 1]
Late in December
On a cold winter day
I'd just finished bringing wood into the kitchen
And 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"
[Chorus]
There ain't no bread in the breadbox
'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 wanna 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There ain't no bread in the breadbox
'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 wanna 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
