Waitin' In Your Welfare Line - Buck Owens And The Buckeroos
Written by:Buck Owens/Don Rich/Nat Stuckey
I got the hungrys for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back
And an old two button suit
I walked out on my job about a week ago
And now I'm sleepin' in a telephone booth
But I'm a gonna be the richest guy
Around the day you say you're mine
I got the hungrys for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well when I first saw you babe
You nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance
That it was you for me I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go
I got nothing to lose but my time
I got the hungrys for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well you made me the top dog on your hill
And I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone
I joined the ranks of the unemployd
Now I'm right back where that I started from
But that ain't gonna change my mind
I got the hungrys for your love and I'm waitin' in your welfare line
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line gimme a hand out
I'm waitin' in your welfare line
