Hungry Eyes Lyrics
A canvas-covered cabin and a crowded labor camp
Stand out in this memory I revive
'Cause my Daddy raised a family there with two hardworking hands
And tried to feed my Momma's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better and my Momma's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
Another reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
Momma never had the luxury she wanted
But it wasn't caused by Daddy didn't try
She only wanted the things she really needed
One more reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
I remember Daddy praying for a better way of life
But I don't recall a change of any size
Yes, the little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my Momma's hungry eyes
Momma never had the luxury she wanted
But it wasn't caused by Daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
Oh I still recall my Momma's hungry eyes
Stand out in this memory I revive
'Cause my Daddy raised a family there with two hardworking hands
And tried to feed my Momma's hungry eyes
And us kids were just too young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
Another reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
But it wasn't caused by Daddy didn't try
She only wanted the things she really needed
One more reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
But I don't recall a change of any size
Yes, the little loss of courage as their age began to show
And more sadness in my Momma's hungry eyes
But it wasn't caused by Daddy didn't try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my Momma's hungry eyes
