Hungry Enough

I was shootin' pool last night in a dirty bar with some friends of mine
To say I had a lucky break would be stretchin' a bit but I won some games
I started thinkin' what's the dif 'tween shootin' good and shootin' great
I guess it goes to the one that's hungry enough

There was a man who would be king he wanted to have a rock n' roll queen
He couldn't see beyond drivin' his truck
He made a record for his ma, a little rock n' roll song he knew and soon
He ruled the world - was it talent was it luck?

chorus

I guess he was hungry enough
Did not think times were so tough
Yeah I think he was hungry enough
Guess he wanted it wanted it bad enough

Another kid didn't want it bad, thought the deck was stacked, always walked around mad
He didn't want to gamble against the house - in the country
Now he's just a middle aged man with his middle aged plans in his garbage can
I guess he wasn't hungry enough

chorus

No he was not hungry enough
He did not want it want it bad enough
No he was not hungry enough
Did not want it want it bad enough

Now it's time to choose between win and lose
'Cause the future's in your hands
You can think it's real but are you gonna feel that way when things get rough?
Are you gonna be hungry enough?

chorus

Are you gonna be hungry enough?
Are you gonna want it want it bad enough?
Are you gonna be hungry enough?
Are you gonna be hungry enough?
