| 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… |
