Waitin’ in Your Welfare Line Songtext
von Buck Owens and His Buckaroos

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

Well, I ain′t got nothin'
But the shirt on my back
And an old two button suit
I walked outta 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 hungries for your love
And I′m waitin' in your welfare line


Well, when I first saw you babe
You nearly made me wreck
My ol′ '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 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 handout)
I'm waitin′ in your welfare line
