Hungry for Home
I love fat back on mustard greens
Gobbled up an onion like a peach I've seen
A pot of hot collards make a monkey out of full-grown men
John cake's bigger than a catcher's mitt
Butter on a biscuit and a plate of hot grits
Soak them in molasses, let 'em run on down your chin
I'm hungry for home
I've been gone too long
Been beat up and bent
Feeling pretty much spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
A Frito pie and a Nehi grape
Sure love leave you in a tip-top shape
Ain't nothing like sitting down eating, keeps your hopes up high
A pinto bean and a black-eyed pea
Boiled red cabbage and believe you me
A deviled egg and a chicken leg, says you're never gonna ever say "die"
I'm hungry for home
Been gone too long
Feeling beat up and bent
I guess I'm pretty much spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
Popcorn Shrimp, yeah, that ought to do
Next best thing to a catfish stew
You catch them in the river and cook them in the frying pan
A Lemon Meringue on the windowsill
Sweet iced tea for to drink your fill
Papa, come and get it, better leave it up while we can
I'm hungry for home
Been gone too long
Been beat up and bent
Feeling pretty well spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
Gobbled up an onion like a peach I've seen
A pot of hot collards make a monkey out of full-grown men
John cake's bigger than a catcher's mitt
Butter on a biscuit and a plate of hot grits
Soak them in molasses, let 'em run on down your chin
I'm hungry for home
I've been gone too long
Been beat up and bent
Feeling pretty much spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
A Frito pie and a Nehi grape
Sure love leave you in a tip-top shape
Ain't nothing like sitting down eating, keeps your hopes up high
A pinto bean and a black-eyed pea
Boiled red cabbage and believe you me
A deviled egg and a chicken leg, says you're never gonna ever say "die"
I'm hungry for home
Been gone too long
Feeling beat up and bent
I guess I'm pretty much spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
Popcorn Shrimp, yeah, that ought to do
Next best thing to a catfish stew
You catch them in the river and cook them in the frying pan
A Lemon Meringue on the windowsill
Sweet iced tea for to drink your fill
Papa, come and get it, better leave it up while we can
I'm hungry for home
Been gone too long
Been beat up and bent
Feeling pretty well spent
I try to make my mark
Everywhere I roam
But I'm losing my spark
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
I'm hungry for home
