Hungry Love

Hungry Love

(Billy Burnette/Tony Colton)

Back in the woods in a shotgun shack

Right above the railroad tracks

In old junk cars and tractor parts

Marylou she grew up

Hungry love

Her daddy he left with a new barmaid

Mama's in town cause she loves to play

Marylou she's all alone with an old stray dog

That she loves to hug

Hungry love

To get away from it all she puts her headphones on

And turns the music way up loud

The first boy who comes along

And pays her any mind at all

Will be the only love she's ever found

It's in her blood

Hungry love

Marylou turned seventeen

With a baby bouncing on her knee

Her sweetheart left in a pick-up truck

So she did just what her mama had done

Hungry love

She spent her nights out in the bars

While her baby sat and watched the stars

With an old rag doll she loved so much

Growing up too fast, too tough

Hungry love

To get away from it all she puts her headphones on

And turns the music way up loud

The first boy who comes along

And pays her any mind at all

Will be the only love she's ever found

It's in her blood

Hungry love

It's in her blood

Hungry love

Back in the woods in a shotgun shack

Right above the railroad tracks
