Hungry Again

Bartender won't you pour me a very strong drink
Just keep it coming till i don't have to think
And point out some cowboy that might want to dance
And make sure i get home if you see that i can't
You see i loved him, he left me for a girl half my age
I relate to each sad song that ole jukebox has played
I listen to haggard, ole hank, and george jones
But why don't more women sing honky tonk songs?
Chorus:

Why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs?
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And the men that's done 'em wrong
There are others just like me that are hurtin' to the bone
So why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs

Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs
Honky tonk angels are just queens without thrones
Judge not lest you be judged, who can cast the first stone
Why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs

Repeat 1st verse

(all you lonely women sing)
Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And all the men that's done us wrong
There's a whole lotta women i know would sing along
So why don't more women sing honky tonk songs

Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs

Nothing new, nothing different, nothing better, nothing more
Nothing else to give you i didn't give before
I gave my love completely, my heart was always yours
It wouldn't do, i still lost you
You want to give it one chance; don't know why we should
We'd never get that far again or make the love that good
We had our chance, we blew it; and i'll never understand
Careless fools, i still lost you
You want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire
Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires
What we had then, we don't have now; and i would just compare
I refuse, i still lost you

Too late for starting over, it hardly ever works
Too many missing pieces, too much water, too much hurt
I already lost you once, and that makes matters worse
What's the use, i still lost you

Oh you want to fan the flames of love, stir up passion's fire
Conjure up familiar lusts, stir up past desires
What we had then, we don't have now; and i would just compare
I refuse, i still lost you

Oh what's the use, i still lost you
I lost you

She was born in a place called blue valley
At the foot of the tennessee hills
With the blue birds and blue bells
And blue mountain water
And the sound of the blue whippoorwill
But there was no peace in the valley
Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man
Used and abused her mind and her body
So her mama said run while you can
So at fifteen she took to the highway
Belongings and guitar in hand
And she buried herself in her music
The one thing she did understand
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
Her voice has that high, lonesome sound
She hurts, and her songs are the best way to show it
So the blue valley songbird keeps traveling around
She hopes someday she will make it
And everyone says that she will
When she comes to town, crowds flock around
To see the girl from the tennessee hills
She writes her letter back home to her mama
In care of the preacher in town
They're sacred to her so she reads them at church
And so her daddy cannot track her down

And she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby
Whenever she turns off the lights
She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy
From mem'ries and miseries and dreams gone awry

Blue dress, blue shoes, a blue cadillac
A band dressed in blue by her side
Instruments tied to the top and the back
'cause the blue valley songbird is singing tonight

One nighters, honky tonks, years flying by
She never made it, but lord knows she tries
Expressing the feelings she holds inside
And the blue valley songbird is singing tonight
Oh the blue valley songbird is singing tonight

And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet

The thrill, the desire, the excitement is gone
We seem to have found a safe comfort zone
We worked so hard to get where we are
That romance got lost on the way
It used to be never enough
We'd melt with each look and each burning touch
We laughed and we loved and we just ate it up
Back when we were hungry that way
Chorus:

Let's love like we're hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, we forgot what it meant
Lets love like we're hungry again

Don't you miss those feelings we had at the start
And that fire that got started from each little spark
Oh it's good where we are, but i miss where we've been
Lets love like we're hungry again, now and then

Lets love like we're hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, now we've grown too content
Lets love like we're hungry again, now and then
Lets love like we're hungry again

I've tried and i've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything i could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And i did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last i can see my way clear
I've cried and i've tried, and i've tried and i've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear

'cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, i'm hurt, i ain't hangin' 'round here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You never cared about me
You only hurt and decieve
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You come to me with teardrops in your eyes
Expecting me to listen to your lies
You want me to forget and to forgive
Enough, enough, this ain't no way to live
I know you wonder why i'd leave like this
After all the hurt i've put up with
This is the last time, this is the last straw
Too late, too late now it's your time to crawl
Chorus:

She's just the straw that broke the camel's heart
It's not her fault, it's yours we fell apart
No more, i'm done, i want a brand new start
(it's) she's just the straw that broke the camel's heart

I've been grasping at straws for much too long
This ain't the first time you have done me wrong
This time you drew the short end of the straw
The game is over, you have lost it all

Repeat chorus

She's just the straw that broke the camel's heart
