歌曲歌詞
He came to town with a lot of dreams
And four strings on his Gibson
He swore someday the world of country news
Would be his own
He drove a beat up Chevy truck
And he didn't have no money
But he was such a good ole boy
Back when he was hungry
He wrote some songs and walked the streets
Beggin' folks to listen
Sometimes he crawled just like a snake
Without a pit to hiss in
He looked like Garth and sang like Hank
And everybody loved him
He swore he'd never change a thing
Back when he was hungry
Back when bmi and cma were only letters
And rr was what you took
To get to feeling better
And billboard was a road sign
Not a chart that came on Monday
Life was oh so simple thing
Back when he was hungry
And then one day he wrote a song
That got someone's attention
The ar at bmg got
Joe to listen
Then Joe called James and James called Don
Don called Mrs Hilley
And Oermann wrote he's gonna be
The next big hot hillbilly
Well his record went to number one
And the good ole boy went crazy
He hired a band then fired a band
He toured and then got lazy
Suddenly he knew it all
The rest of us were dummies
He scarcely could remember
Back when he was hungry
Well he married
And then he got divorced
And met this cute young honey
He thought she craved his body
But she only craved his money
She cleaned out his bank account
Then ran off with his drummer
Left him where he started from
Back when he was hungry
Well he lost his deal and life got real
And he had to give up pickin'
Swapped BMG for KFC
And now he's frying chicken
But he held on to his faded dreams
His jeans and cowboy hat
He still leans in that microphone
You want some fries with that
The last time that I saw him
He was singin' down at tootsie's
A big tattoo on both his arms
And his earring was a beauty
He said I'm goin' rock' n roll
Those guys make all the money
From now on you can call me
The artist formerly known
As
Hungry
