Del Mccoury Band - Man Cant Live on Bread Alone Lyrics




The Dow Jones took a dive today

Another bank closes its doors

A man downtown tried to fly away

From it all on the eighteenth floor

And everything he worshipped

Ain't worth nothing now



He had a jaguar in the driveway

A house with eighteen rooms

Every night he dined alone

Fed from a silver spoon

Guess he never figured out

You ain't what you own

Man can't live on bread alone



Chorus:

You can't fill your heart with silver and gold

You've got to have some love

To satisfy your soul

We've got to pool together

To make it on our own

Man can't live on bread alone



There's a country store

That sits out on

A backwoods gravel road

The own lets

The poor folks slide

If they can't pay what they owe

He says its only money

Ain't no good when you're gone



Now he'll never be a rich man

But he's smiling every day

He's gets everything he needs

By giving it away

I think he's got it figured out

You ain't what you own

Man can't live on bread alone



Chorus:
