[Spoken intro:] Hey you ladies and gentlemen, get a microphone up here. We got a great New Jersey citizen here with us tonight, we're singing with Southside Johnny, come on out baby. A fine example of New Jersiness. Are you hungry?

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, ???

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!

[Southside Johnny:] I met her in a Kingstown bar
[Southside Johnny:] We fell in love I knew it had to end

Ain't nobody wanna be alone, singin'
