Hungry Eyes

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp Stands out in this memory I revive 'Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands To try 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 Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
