Gill, Vince - Bread And Water Lyrics
One night he wandered into that old mission
The one out on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down
And I don’t have a penny to my name
Lord knows I hadn’t worked in a month of Sundays
I’m dirty, dead broke and so ashamed
I need bread and water, ma’am that’s all I need
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
I ain’t too proud to get down on my knees
For bread and water’s free
She said, you’re always welcome at this table
And there’s no need to pay if you’re not able
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man
Well she opened up the Word and started reading
About the Savior and the woman at the well
Said it ain’t for me to judge this life you’re leading
There’s only two things can save your soul from hell
It’s bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free
When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
They spoke every word of Our Lord’s Prayer
He closed his eyes and never woke up
He’ll find bread and water waiting there
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, brother just believe
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free
Bread and water’s free

Gill, Vince Bread And Water Comments
Having been homeless for a time, I know this feeling.
It's not good & i hope to never feel that hopelessness ever again.
This song really gets to me. I need to change some of my not paying attention to the down on their luck

"Bread And Water"
One night he wandered into that old mission
The one out on the poor side of town
He really had no interest in salvation
Just a place to lay his drunk ole body down
He said, Ma’am I sure am hungry
And I don’t have a penny to my name
Lord knows I hadn’t worked in a month of Sundays
I’m dirty, dead broke and so ashamed
I need bread and water, ma’am that’s all I need
Bread and water, and a place to rest my feet
I ain’t too proud to get down on my knees
For bread and water’s free
She said, you’re always welcome at this table
Said, brother you look like you could use a friend
And there’s no need to pay if you’re not able
Cause even Jesus was a homeless Man
Well she opened up the Word and started reading
About the Savior and the woman at the well
Said it ain’t for me to judge this life you’re leading
There’s only two things can save your soul from hell
It’s bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free
When he bowed his head he kinda choked up
They spoke every word of Our Lord’s Prayer
He closed his eyes and never woke up
He’ll find bread and water waiting there
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, and a place to rest your feet
Bread and water, man that’s all you need
Bread and water, brother just believe
If you ain’t too proud to get down on your knees
The bread and water’s free
Bread and water’s free
Thank You for your post.... Will

Beautiful video and song. Vince Gill is an amazing singer and songwriter.
iciclesable you should check out John Conlee's version
Great job on the video!
Unbelievable song!!! Vince is an amazing singer/songwriter...
marty parrish you should check out John Conlee's version
So very well said. As I read the second sentence, I started to tear up. If you have ever found yourself having lost all sense of hope, you truly understand the truth in that sentence. I have walked that very dark and lonely road. Without hope, you have absolutely nothing. It's as important as the air we breathe.
Recently at a John Conlee Concert, John sang this song done by Vince Gill, and it really struck a chord with my sisters and me...Has a wonderful message...
Specialscots I seen him last night and didn't know the song til he sang it but it choked me up a bit it sure is a powerful song
I've been a professional singer/songwriter for over 30 years, and sometimes a song comes along that you think "I wish I'd of wriiten that"! This is one of those... Thought provoking song full of hope, faith and love. Thank you Vince!
PS: Just happened to catch your show at EKU last night and your performance of this song is what brought me to Youtube to check this song out more. Love it!
Beautiful words, make me go all goosebumps. Sad and moving,
Vince is one of America's great, great singer/songwriter talents. No doubt about it. And the man is one Tele-pickin' sumbitch too. Love Vince, love this song.
