Waitin' In Your Welfare Line Songtext
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 met you babe you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac

Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me I had to have your love by heck

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

[ guitar ]

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 unemployed

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

I'm waitin' in your welfare line
gimme a hand out

I'm waitin' in your welfare line
