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
