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
