Back When He Was Hungry - Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bill Anderson[00:00:03]
He came to town with a lot of dreams[00:00:05]
And four strings on his Gibson[00:00:08]
He swore someday the world of country news[00:00:10]
Would be his own[00:00:14]
He drove a beat up Chevy truck[00:00:16]
And he didn't have no money[00:00:19]
But he was such a good ole boy[00:00:21]
Back when he was hungry[00:00:24]
He wrote some songs and walked the streets[00:00:28]
Beggin' folks to listen[00:00:31]
Sometimes he crawled just like a snake[00:00:33]
Without a pit to hiss in[00:00:36]
He looked like Garth and sang like Hank[00:00:39]
And everybody loved him[00:00:42]
He swore he'd never change a thing[00:00:44]
Back when he was hungry[00:00:47]
Back when bmi and cma were only letters[00:00:51]
And rr was what you took[00:00:56]
To get to feeling better[00:00:59]
And billboard was a road sign[00:01:02]
Not a chart that came on Monday[00:01:05]
Life was oh so simple thing[00:01:08]
Back when he was hungry[00:01:11]
And then one day he wrote a song[00:01:20]
That got someone's attention[00:01:23]
The ar at bmg got[00:01:26]
Joe to listen[00:01:29]
Then Joe called James and James called Don[00:01:32]
Don called Mrs Hilley[00:01:35]
And Oermann wrote he's gonna be[00:01:37]
The next big hot hillbilly[00:01:40]
Well his record went to number one[00:01:44]
And the good ole boy went crazy[00:01:46]
He hired a band then fired a band[00:01:49]
He toured and then got lazy[00:01:51]
Suddenly he knew it all[00:01:55]
The rest of us were dummies[00:01:58]
He scarcely could remember[00:02:00]
Back when he was hungry[00:02:03]
Well he married[00:02:07]
And then he got divorced[00:02:08]
And met this cute young honey[00:02:09]
He thought she craved his body[00:02:12]
But she only craved his money[00:02:14]
She cleaned out his bank account[00:02:18]
Then ran off with his drummer[00:02:21]
Left him where he started from[00:02:23]
Back when he was hungry[00:02:26]
Well he lost his deal and life got real[00:02:30]
And he had to give up pickin'[00:02:32]
Swapped BMG for KFC[00:02:35]
And now he's frying chicken[00:02:38]
But he held on to his faded dreams[00:02:41]
His jeans and cowboy hat[00:02:44]
He still leans in that microphone[00:02:46]
You want some fries with that[00:02:49]
The last time that I saw him[00:02:53]
He was singin' down at tootsie's[00:02:55]
A big tattoo on both his arms[00:02:58]
And his earring was a beauty[00:03:01]
He said I'm goin' rock' n roll[00:03:05]
Those guys make all the money[00:03:07]
From now on you can call me[00:03:10]
