Lyrics
Darlin don't you cry
The stars out and their shining bright.
And I'm right here a ghost at your side.
Baby don't you cry.
I'm as loyal as a Hungry Dog.
Would you say that I know right from wrong?
Somewhere up above this north bound subway train,
the rain falls soft and I'm home to you.
I am just a Hungry Dog. And I don't know right from wrong.I am just a Hungry Dog and I don't know right from wrong but oh...I'm comin home to you.
Oh....I'm comin home to you.
