He came to town with a lot of dreams swapped BMG for KFC<br />And four strings on his Gibson and now he's frying chicken<br />He swore someday the world of country music but he held on to his faded dreams<br />Would be his'n his jeans and cowboy hat<br />He drove a beat up Chevy truck he still leans in that microphone<br />And he didn't have no money says you want some fries with that<br />But he was such a god ole boy<br />Chorus: The last time that I saw him<br />Back when he was hungry he was singin' down at Tootsie's<br />He wrote some songs and walked the streets a big tattoo on both his arms<br />Beggin' folks to listen and his earring was a beauty<br /><br />Sometimes he crawled just like a snake he said I'm goin' rock'n roll<br />Without a pit to hiss in those guys make all the money<br />He looked like Garth and sang like Hank from now on you can call me<br />And everybody loved him the Artist Formerly Known As Hungry<br />He swore he'd never change a thing back when he was hungry<br />Back when BMI and CMA were only letters<br />And R&R was what you took to get to feeling better<br />And Billboard was a road sign not a chart that came on Monday<br />Life was oh so simple back then back when he was hungry<br />And then one day he wrote a song that got someone's attention<br />The A&R at BMG got J-O-E to listen<br />Then Joe called James and James called Don<br />Don called Mrs Hilley and Oermann wrote he's gonna be<br />The next big hot hillbilly well his record went to Number One<br />And the good ole boy went crazy he hired a band then fired a band<br />He toured and then got lazy suddenly he knew it all<br />The rest of us were dummies he scarcely could remember<br />Back when he was hungry<br />Well he married and then he got divorced and met this cute young honey<br />He thought she craved his body but she only craved his money <br />She cleaned out his bank account then ran off with his drummer<br />Left him where he started from back when he was hungry<br />Well he lost his deal and life got real and he had to give up pickin'
