HUNGRY HEART^©

Live 28 Oct 1999 version

One two!
Whoa!
Ah let's hear you

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Come on
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Come on

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Come on
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Oh come on
Lay down your money and you play your part
Come on
Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heart

Ahhh, ???

Well I got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money, play your part
Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heaaart

Come on South!
Yeah!
Now!

[Southside:] I met her in a Kingstown bar
[Southside:] We fell in love I knew it had to end
[Southside:] We took what we had and we tore it apart
[Southside:] Now I'm back down in a Kingstown bar again

(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Come on!
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Oh whoa whoa

[Southside:] Ohhh

Whoa!
Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody say
Ain't nobody wanna be alone, singin'

(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Come on!
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Oh come on now!
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Come on!
(Everybody's got a hungry heaaart)
You there, come on!

Everybody's got a hungry heart

Just one more time
