[00:00.00]Hungry Eyes - Merle Haggard
[00:09.49]A canvas covered cabin
[00:13.82]In a crowded labour camp
[00:18.55]Stand out in this memory I revived;
[00:27.53]Cause my daddy raised a family there
[00:32.48]With two hard working hands
[00:37.19]And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
[00:46.33]He dreamed of something better
[00:50.55]And my mama's faith was strong
[00:55.23]And us kids were just to young to realize
[01:04.37]That another class of people
[01:08.97]Put us somewhere just below;
[01:13.60]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[01:22.31]Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
[01:32.10]But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
[01:41.59]She only wanted things she really needed;
[01:50.38]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[01:59.35]I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
[02:08.55]But I don't recall a change of any size;
[02:17.67]Just a little loss of courage
[02:22.12]As their age began to show
[02:26.67]And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
[02:35.26]Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
[02:44.90]But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
[02:54.21]She only wanted things she really needed;
[03:02.97]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[03:11.77]Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
