Back in the woods in a shotgun shack
Right above the railroad tracks
In old junk cars and tractor parts
Mary Lou she grew up, Hungry Love
Her daddy he left with the new bar maid
And momma's in town cause she loves to play
Mary Lou she's all alone
With an old stray dog that she loves to hug, hungry love
To get away from it all she puts her head phones on
And turns the music way up loud
The first boy who comes along and pays her any mind at all
Will be the only love she's ever found, it's in her blood, hungry love
Mary Lou turned 17
