HUNGRY HEART^©

Live 09 Aug 2003 version

Come one!

Sing it now!
(Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack)
(I went out for a ride and I never went back)
Oh yeah
(Like a river that don't know where it's flowing)
Singin'
(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)
Come on
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Come on
(Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heart)

Alright Pittsburgh
Yeah

I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and ripped it apart
Here I am down in Kingstown again, singin'

(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Oh yeah
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
I say yeah
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Come on
(Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heart)
Come on baby

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)
Ah come on now
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Come on
(Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heart)
Singin' again

(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Come on
(Everybody's got a hungry heart)
Everybody
(Lay down your money and you play your part)
Come on, come on Big Man
(Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heaaart)
Let me see

Say yeah
Everybody
Come on baby
Say yeah
