There'll be new dresses that you wear now You look so good he'll pick a flower for you hair At the end of every day I'm sure he'll find the way To mention all the things I meant to say There'll be a house for you to live in Picket fence and road that's strollin' round your door We married young and we married for I couldn't give you much before I'm sure he'll find the means to give you more
And I hope that every night while you're holding him so tight Lord it seems the only thing we took was fight And one day if you can take the time to understand That it's hard to love a hungry worried man
Tell the kids I said goodbye now if I try to say so long I only cry Grow 'em strong and grow 'em tall with their backs against the wall Let 'em learn to find the chips where they may fall I guess you seem the last to me now To tell the truth there isn't much left now to see I''ve been turned out like I planed love won't grow on fields of sand And it's hard to love a hungry worried man
