HUNGRY HEART

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

(Chorus)
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Everybody's got a hungry heart
Lay down your money and you play your part
Everybody's got a hungry heart

I met her in a Kingstown bar
We fell in love I knew it had to end
We took what we had and we ripped it apart
Now here I am down in Kingstown again

(Chorus)

Everybody needs a place to rest
Everybody wants to have a home
Don't make no difference what nobody says
Ain't nobody like to be alone

(Chorus)

Liner notes by Bruce Springsteen in the Greatest Hits booklet:

my first real Top 10 smash + I guess my real entrance into the pop main stream. I met the Ramones in Asbury Park + Joey asked me to write a song for 'em. I went home that night + wrote this. I played it for Jon Landau + earning his money he advised me to keep it.
