Hungry Years

Hungry Years - Larry Chance/The Earls

Girl we made it to the top

We went so high we couldn't stop

We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere

Two of us together building castles in the air

We spun so fast we couldn't tell

The gold ring from the carousel

How could we know the ride would turn out bad

Everything we wanted was everything we had

I miss the hungry years the once upon a time

The lovely long ago we didn't have a dime

Those days of me and you we lost along the way

How could i be so blind not to see the door

Closing on this world that i now hunger for

I'm looking through my tears i miss the hungry years

We shared our daydreams one by one

Making plans was so much fun

We set our goals and reached the highest star

Things that we were after were so much better from afar

Here we stand just me and you

With everything and nothing too

It wasn't worth the price we had to pay

Honey take me home let's go back to yesterday

I miss the hungry years the once upon a time

The lovely long ago we didn't have a dime

Those days of me and you we lost along the way

How could i be so blind not to see the door

Closing on this world that i now hunger for

And looking through my tears i miss the hungry years

I miss the hungry years

I miss the hungry years
