I love fat back on mustard greens Gobble up an onion like a peach I've seen
A pot of hot collards make a monkey out of full grown men
John cakes bigger than a catcher's mitt Butter on a biscuit and a plate of hot grits
Soak them in molasses, let it run on down your chin
I'm hungry for home I've been gone too long
Been beat up and bitter Feelin' pretty much thin
Try to make my mark Everywhere I roam
But I'm losin' my spark I'm hungry for home
Frito pie and a knee-high grape Sure enough to leave you in a tip-top shape
Ain't nothin' like sittin' down to eat and keep your hopes up high
Finto beans and a black-eyed pea Boil a 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 I've been gone too long
Feelin' beat up and bitter Feelin' pretty much thin
Try to make my mark Everywhere I roam
But I'm losin' my spark I'm hungry for home
Popcorn shrimp, yeah, that oughta do Next best thing to a catfish stew
Catch em' in the river and you cook em' in a fryin' pan
Lemon meringue on a window seal Sweet iced tea for to drink your fill
Papa, come and get it, better live it up while we can
I'm hungry for home I've been gone too long
Feelin' beat up and bitter Feelin' pretty much thin
Try to make my mark Everywhere I roam
But I'm losin' 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
