No Sugar in the Bowl

Verse 1

Grease pop in the pan

Cast iron skillet

Hissing loud

Hardly any water left

Black liquid bubbling up

Pour me something bitter

Pour me something strong

Empty pockets

Dusty floor

Chorus

Woke up way too early

Woke up without a cent

Woke up just to worry

Lord where the money went

The stove is cold

The house is old

Post-Chorus

Oh lord

Mm mm mm

Oh lord

Verse 2

Stale bread on the board

I slice it thin

Knife is dull

Ripped my shirt

Right on the seam

Fix the faucet

Fix the door

Fix the rattling window

Rain leaking inside

Bad weather is back again

Chorus

Woke up way too early

Woke up without a cent

Woke up just to worry

Lord where the money went

The stove is cold

The house is old

Post-Chorus

Oh lord

Mm mm mm

Oh lord

Bridge

No salt in the cellar

No sugar in the bowl

No wood for the heater

Winter coming for my soul

Hungry at the table

Sad at the table

Waiting at the table

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Sun looks like a lemon

Squeezed dry

Behind the clouds

Road is muddy

Boot has a hole

Walk a mile

Walk a yard

Walk until I drop

Nothing in the mailbox

Sun going down

Chorus

Woke up way too early

Woke up without a cent

Woke up just to worry

Lord where the money went

The stove is cold

The house is old

Post-Chorus

Oh lord

Mm mm mm

Oh lord

Outro

One plate

Two forks

No steak

Lord have mercy

Lord help me

Lord hear me

Morning blues

Got the morning blues
