Capo 2
G C G
I read they're havin' rain in California
C G D
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.
G C G
And I think I was better off when I was hungry
C G D
And fightin' off the wolfs 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
My guitar brought us here from Beaumont, 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
Chorus
