Better Off When I Was Hungry
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Written by Dave Kirby

G C G
I read they're havin' rain in California
C G D7
And Lord I hope that you're not gettin' wet
G C G C
That's the only way on earth I have for knowin' how you're doin'
G C G
When you left you said you'd call but you ain't yet

C G
And I think I was better off when I was hungry
C G D7
And fightin' off the wolves from our front door
G C G C
But I wrote a song and it came on strong and left you once too often
G C G
Now I think I was better off when I was hungry

C G
My guitar brought us here to Beaumont Texas
C G D7
And I bought you everything your eyes could see
G C G C
But a mansion couldn't hold you with nobody's arms to warm you
G C G
I guess I gave you everything but me

C G
And I think I was better off when I was hungry
C G D7
And fightin' off the wolves from our front door
G C G C
But I wrote a song and it came on strong and left you once too often
G C G
Now I think I was better off when I was hungry
