Merle Haggard - Better off when i was hungry

I ^Aread they're havin' ^Drain in Cali- ^Afornia And ^DLord, I hope that ^Ayou're not gettin' ^Ewet That's the ^Aonly way on ^Dearth I have for ^Aknowin' how you're ^Ddoin' When you ^Aleft you said you ^Dcall but you ain't ^Ayet

And I ^Athink I was better ^Doff when I was ^Ahungry And ^Dfightin' off the ^Awolfs from our front ^Edoor But I ^Awrote this song and it ^Dcame on strong and ^Aleft you once too ^Doften Now I ^Athink I was better ^Doff when I was ^Ahungry

My ^Aguitar brought us ^Dhere to Bonmat ^ATexas And I ^Dbought you every- ^Athing your eyes could ^Esee But the ^Amansion couldn't ^Dhold you could no- ^Abody's arms to ^Dwarm you I ^Aguess I gave you ^Deverything ^Abut me

And I ^Athink I was better ^Doff when I was ^Ahungry And ^Dfightin' off the ^Awolfs from our front ^Edoor But I ^Awrote this song and it ^Dcame on strong and ^Aleft you once too ^Doften Now I ^Athink I was better ^Doff when I was ^Ahungry
