Waitin' in Your Welfare Line

Buck Owens, Don Rich, Nat Stuckey

I got the hungries 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'ma gonna be the richest guy around
The day you say you're mine

I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, when I first met you, babe, you nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance that it was you for me
Yell, I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you, baby, wherever you go
I got nothin' to lose but my time

I got the hungries 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 'til the thrill was gone
I joined the ranks of the unemployed
Now, I'm right back where that I started from
But that ain't gonna change my mind

I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line
(Gimme a hand out)
I'm waitin' in your welfare line
