Lyrics

There's a soup kitchen on Grant Street
Where I used to eat a good hot meal
I knocked at the door, it opened wide
I went inside

I brought bread
I sit down and stay a while
I brought bread
Looks like you've come many miles with many more to go
Yeah, I don't know if I should come or go
Which way's left or right
Where to sleep tonight?
I don't know

There's a camp out on the edge of town
Where I kept warm many nights
I came up slowly, tipped my hat
They said, welcome back

I brought bread
I sit down and stay a while
I brought bread
Looks like you've come many miles with many more to go
Yeah, I don't know if I should come or go
Which way's left or right
Where to sleep tonight?
I don't know

I can see my mama's eyes
Wondering why, wondering why
I can see her staying up all night
I never could stand to see my mama cry
So when I left, I never said goodbye

There's a house out on the edge of town
Where I used to live
I stood on the porch. The lights came up
I heard, honey, I never did give up

I brought bread
I sit down and stay a while
I brought bread
Looks like you've come many miles
But you don't have to go
No, you don't have to go
