The Breadline (CountryTechno Mix)

[Intro] She traded gold for a handful of dust A shiny coat covering nothing but rust She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind Someday soon she'll be in the breadline Yeah, she doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday soon she'll be in the breadline [Verse 1] I watched her taillights fade into the gray She threw three years of honest love away She traded in a man who worked the land For a fast-talker with grease on his hand He’s got no job and no place left to go Just a rusted car and a heart made of stone He’s selling dreams that he can’t ever keep While I’m losing hours of a good man’s sleep [Chorus] [Hook: Classic country melody] She traded gold for a handful of dust A shiny coat covering nothing but rust She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline [Verse 2] The town started talking 'bout his sleazy ways How he’d disappear for three or four days Leaving her broke in a cold rented room While the seeds of his lies started to bloom I heard he spent her paycheck at the track Then left her crying with a pack on her back She thought he was fire but he’s only smoke Now the promises he made are all just a joke [Chorus] [Hook: Classic country melody] She traded gold for a handful of dust A shiny coat covering nothing but rust She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline [Bridge] [Refrain: Change in tempo, more confident] Well time moved on and I found my way Got a brand new life and a better day I drove through town just a week ago And saw a face I used to know Underneath the sign by the shelter door She wasn't the girl I loved anymore Standing there shivering in the morning rain A living picture of a deep-fried pain [Chorus] [Hook: Classic country melody] She traded gold for a handful of dust A shiny coat covering nothing but rust She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline She doesn't know that he won't blow her mind And that someday, she'll be standing in the breadline [Outro] [Fading steel guitar] Yeah I saw her there Just like I said In that long line Begging for bread I kept on driving I’m doing just fine [End]
