Right above the railroad tracks 
 In old junk cars and tractor parts 
 Marylou she grew up 
 Hungry love 
  
 Her daddy he left with a new barmaid 
 Mama's in town cause she loves to play 
 Marylou 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 headphones 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 
  
 Marylou turned seventeen 
 With a baby bouncing on her knee 
 Her sweetheart left in a pick-up truck 
 So she did just what her mama had done 
 Hungry love 
  
 She spent her nights out in the bars 
 While her baby sat and watched the stars 
 With an old rag doll she loved so much 
 Growing up too fast, too tough 
 Hungry love 
  
 To get away from it all she puts her headphones 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 
 It's in her blood 
 Hungry love 
 Back in the woods in a shotgun shack 
 Right above the railroad tracks
