Bread & Honey Lyrics by Canaan Smith

Chickahominy

2024

[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
