《Back When He Was Hungry》歌词

[00:00:00] Back When He Was Hungry - Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森)

[00:00:03] Written by：Bill Anderson

[00:00:05] He came to town with a lot of dreams

[00:00:08] And four strings on his Gibson

[00:00:10] He swore someday the world of country news

[00:00:14] Would be his own

[00:00:16] He drove a beat up Chevy truck

[00:00:19] And he didn't have no money

[00:00:21] But he was such a good ole boy

[00:00:24] Back when he was hungry

[00:00:28] He wrote some songs and walked the streets

[00:00:31] Beggin' folks to listen

[00:00:33] Sometimes he crawled just like a snake

[00:00:36] Without a pit to hiss in

[00:00:39] He looked like Garth and sang like Hank

[00:00:42] And everybody loved him

[00:00:44] He swore he'd never change a thing

[00:00:47] Back when he was hungry

[00:00:51] Back when bmi and cma were only letters

[00:00:56] And rr was what you took

[00:00:59] To get to feeling better

[00:01:02] And billboard was a road sign

[00:01:05] Not a chart that came on Monday

[00:01:08] Life was oh so simple thing

[00:01:11] Back when he was hungry

[00:01:20] And then one day he wrote a song

[00:01:23] That got someone's attention

[00:01:26] The ar at bmg got

[00:01:29] Joe to listen

[00:01:32] Then Joe called James and James called Don

[00:01:35] Don called Mrs Hilley

[00:01:37] And Oermann wrote he's gonna be

[00:01:40] The next big hot hillbilly

[00:01:44] Well his record went to number one

[00:01:46] And the good ole boy went crazy

[00:01:49] He hired a band then fired a band

[00:01:51] He toured and then got lazy

[00:01:55] Suddenly he knew it all

[00:01:58] The rest of us were dummies

[00:02:00] He scarcely could remember

[00:02:03] Back when he was hungry

[00:02:07] Well he married

[00:02:08] And then he got divorced

[00:02:09] And met this cute young honey

[00:02:12] He thought she craved his body

[00:02:14] But she only craved his money

[00:02:18] She cleaned out his bank account

[00:02:21] Then ran off with his drummer

[00:02:23] Left him where he started from

[00:02:26] Back when he was hungry

[00:02:30] Well he lost his deal and life got real

[00:02:32] And he had to give up pickin'

[00:02:35] Swapped BMG for KFC

[00:02:38] And now he's frying chicken

[00:02:41] But he held on to his faded dreams

[00:02:44] His jeans and cowboy hat

[00:02:46] He still leans in that microphone

[00:02:49] You want some fries with that

[00:02:53] The last time that I saw him

[00:02:55] He was singin' down at tootsie's

[00:02:58] A big tattoo on both his arms

[00:03:01] And his earring was a beauty

[00:03:05] He said I'm goin' rock' n roll

[00:03:07] Those guys make all the money

[00:03:10] From now on you can call me

[00:03:12] The artist formerly known

[00:03:16] As

[00:03:17] Hungry
