Merle Haggard - Hungry Eyes Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
  • Stand out in this memory I revived;
  • Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands
  • And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes.
  • He dreamed of something better, and my mama's faith was strong
  • And us kids were just to young to realize
  • That another class of people put us somewhere just below;
  • One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
  • Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
  • But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
  • She only wanted things she really needed;
  • One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
  • I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
  • But I don't recall a change of any size;
  • Just a little loss of courage, as their age began to show
  • And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
  • Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
  • But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
  • She only wanted things she really needed;
  • One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
  • Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes.
