better off when i was hungry

i read they're havin' rain in california

and lord i hope that you're not gettin' wet

that's the only way on earth i have for knowin' how you're doin'

when you left you said you call but you ain't yet. and i think i was better off when i was hungry

and fightin' off the wolfs from our front door

but i wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often

now i think i was better off when i was hungry. my guitar brought us here to bonmat texas

and i bought you everything your eyes could see

but the mansion couldn't hold you could nobody's arms to warm you

i guess i gave you everything but me. and i think i was better off when i was hungry

and fightin' off the wolfs from our front door

but i wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often

now i think i was better off when i was hungry.
