Testo Mama's Hungry Eyes - Kinky Friedman
Testo della canzone Mama's Hungry Eyes (Kinky Friedman), tratta dall'album The Loneliest Man I Ever Met
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
Stands out in this old memory I revived
'Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands
And he tried 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
