14 No More Bread - Extra Slow Blues
[Verse 1]
I opened up the breadbox, Lord, what did I see?
Empty bag starin’ back like it’s laughin’ at me
Got a pound of salami, got the good Swiss cheese
Mayo, mustard, pickles cryin’ on their knees
[Chorus]
Ain’t got no bread, baby, ain’t got no bread tonight
Ain’t got no bread, Lord, it just ain’t right
All these lonely condiments sittin’ on the shelf
No more bread, feels like the end of the world itself
[Verse 2]
Turkey’s gettin’ nervous, roast beef’s about to cry
Lettuce goin’ limp, tomatoes wanna die
I even found the butter hidin’ in the back
But without two slices, man, we under attack
[Bridge]
I would crawl through the Delta, swim the Mississippi mud
Just to find one loaf of rye, baby, give my soul some love
[Final Chorus]
Ain’t got no bread! (No bread!)
Ain’t got no bread tonight!
Ain’t got no bread, Lord have mercy on my soul
No more bread, I’m losin’ control!
Somebody drive me to the store… right now… good God!
