Conway Twitty
Hungry Eyes

(Merle Haggard)

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
With two hard working hands.

To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better
And my mama's faith was strong
And 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
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...


Mirror lyrics:

Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes...

One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
She only wanted things she really needed
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
But I don't recall a change of any size
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life

One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
She only wanted things she really needed
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

Hungry eyes.
One more reason for my mama's
Put us somewhere just below
That another class of people

And us kids were just too young to realize.
And my mama's faith was strong
He dreamed of something better
To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes

With two hard working hands.
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
Stands out in this mem'ry I revive
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp

(Merle Haggard)

before the next teardrop falls

postcards

rollergirl

crazy

sure as the sun

the old days are gone

fallen to rise

all kinds of people

we'll recover

my whole life

hum hum fră´n humlegă´rden

crusaders' anthem

you better quit

slow hole to china

will you love me tomorrow

magic in your eyes

look around

raise your rifles

if only you'd of happened to me a long time ago

this is where the party's at
