HUNGRY HEART^©

Live 19 Nov 1984 version

One two!

Let me hear you now!
Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Sounds good
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Ah come on!

Everybody's got a hungry heart
I said yeah
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Ah come on
Lay down your money and you play your part
I said yeah
Everybody's got a hu-hu-hungry heart

Excellent Kansas City
Absolute

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

We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had, we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again, singin'

Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone, singin'
