Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I punch that clock at dawn

With dirt on my hands

I haul that pay home slow

Do the best I can

The fridge stays full tonight

The rent gets paid on time

But I miss the little things

Slippin' through the lines

[Pre-Chorus]

She says, "Where were you again?"

The words cut through the smoke

I got a roof and a promise

But I can't buy back what I sold

[Chorus]

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(Who gives the hours back?)

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(And still that hole stays black)

Am I losin' my family?

Tell me, am I losin' my family?

[Verse 2]

My boy drew me a picture

Left it on the chair

I found it when the dishes

Were stacked and I was there

My girl stopped askin' first

Now she just shuts the door

I work to keep us standin'

But I don't know what for

[Pre-Chorus]

Every extra dollar

Costs me one more mile

I'm chasin' after safety

While I'm missin' all their smiles

[Chorus]

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(Who gives the hours back?)

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(And still that hole stays black)

Am I losin' my family?

Tell me, am I losin' my family?

[Bridge]

If I slow down, we hurt

If I speed up, we break

I'm caught between the heavy

And the love I can't replace

So I lay my hard hat down

And let that silence talk

Maybe all they really needed

Was a man who'd walk

[Final Chorus]

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(Who gives the hours back?)

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(And still that hole stays black)

Am I losin' my family?

Tell me, am I losin' my family?

I gave you time, I gave you bread

(Please don't let me end up alone)
