Hungry Eyes lyrics
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stand out in this mem ry I revive
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
But us kids were just too 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...
Yes I still recall my mama s hungry eyes
