- Merle Haggard hungry eyes 歌詞
- Merle Haggard
- A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor 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 mamas hungry eyes
He dreamed of something better and my mamas 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 mamas hungry eyes
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasnt cause my daddy didnt try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mamas hungry eyes
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
But I dont recall a change of any size
Just a little loss of courage, as their age began to show
And more sadness in my mamas hungry eyes
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasnt cause my daddy didnt try
She only wanted things she really needed
One more reason for my mamas hungry eyes
Oh, I still recall my mamas hungry eyes
