Текст (слова) песни: Tom T. Hall - Ode To A Half A Pound Of Ground Round

This is the song about the time I nearly starved to death in Roanoke Virginia
I woke up Wednesday morning in my little motel bed
Knowing I would die the minute that I move my head
I felt around to make sure I was in my bed alone
I meet some friendly people when I`m stoned
My payday was on Friday I had two more days to go
Even in my agony I knew that I was broke
Lemme pay the check I said and keep the change my friend
She wiggled out of sight with my last ten
At noon I realized there wasn`t any way to eat
For lunch I just went out and shuffled up and down the street
At four o`clock I had a funny feeling in my chest
How long`s it take to starve a man to death
I found some pennies in my junk and bought a candy bar
Divided it in pieces and I ate one every hour
I just rolled into town and didn`t know a single soul
There wasn`t any way to make a loan
[ dobro ]
Thursday morning I was nearly panicked on the job
I heard my stomach growlin` and my head began to throb
I contemplated murder of the folks that brought their lunch
The sudden smell of food would make me jump
Thursday night they run all food commercials on TV
I slept till nine or ten and then I walked the floor to three
Friday morning I looked for some ketchup on my shirts
My mind was gone my legs began to hurt
The last few minutes up to payin` time were all the worst
The minutes were the years it took to build the universe
Finally it came I got my check and made a dash yes I said the man will eat at last
Running down the sidewalk I could see the words so sweet
The sign was flashin` on and on Eat Eat Eat
A half o`pound of ground round ma`m and please don`t cook it long
The frizzle of the grill was like a song
I`ve traveled this world over and I ain`t been hungry much
I`ve been down in my thinking and I`ve been down on my luck
But the sweetest meal I`ve ever had in anybody`s town
Was a half a pound of plain ground round ground round
