Buck Owens - Waitin' In Your Welfare Line Lyrics
I got the hungries for your love,And I'm waitin' in your welfare line.Well, I ain't got nothin'But the shirt on my back,And an old two button suitI walked outta my jobAbout a week ago,And now I'm sleepin' in aTelephone boothBut I'm a-gonna beThe richest guy around,The day you say you're mineI got the hungries for your loveAnd I'm waitin' in your welfare lineWell, when I first saw you babe,You nearly made me wreckMy ol' '49 CadillacI knew at a glanceThat it was you for me;I had to have your love by heckI'm gonna follow you babyWherever you go;I got nothin' to loseBut my timeI got the hungries for your love,And I'm waitin' in your welfare line--- Instrumental ---Well, you made meThe top dog on your hill,And I was overjoyedBut it didn't take long'Til the thrill was gone,I joined the ranks ofThe unemployedNow, I'm right back whereThat I started from,But that ain't gonnaChange my mindI got the hungries for your love,And I'm waitin' in your welfare lineYeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line(Gimme a handout)I'm waitin' in your welfare line...
