Merle Haggard - Better Off When I Was Hungry

Merle Haggard

Better Off When I Was Hungry

(Dave Kirby)

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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...

Mirror lyrics:

Now I think I was better off when I was hungry...
But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often
And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door
And I think I was better off when I was hungry

I guess I gave you everything but me.
But the mansion couldn't hold you could nobody's arms to warm you
And I bought you everything your eyes could see
My guitar brought us here to Bonmat Texas

--- Instrumental ---

Now I think I was better off when I was hungry.
But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often
And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door
And I think I was better off when I was hungry

When you left you said you call but you ain't yet.
That's the only way on earth I have for knowin' how you're doin'
And Lord I hope that you're not gettin' wet
I read they're havin' rain in California
