A D A I read they're havin' rain in Cali- fornia D A E And Lord, I hope that you're not gettin' wet A D A D That's the only way on earth I have for knowin' how you're doin' A D A When you left you said you call but you ain't yet
[Chorus]
A D A And I think I was better off when I was hungry D A E And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door A D A D But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often A D A Now I think I was better off when I was hungry
[Solo]
A D A A A E A A
A D A My guitar brought us here to Bonmat Texas D A E And I bought you every- thing your eyes could see A D A D But the mansion couldn't hold you could no- body's arms to warm you A D A I guess I gave you everything but me
[Chorus]
A D A And I think I was better off when I was hungry D A E And fightin' off the wolfs from our front door A D A D But I wrote this song and it came on strong and left you once too often A D A Now I think I was better off when I was hungry
