This underrated gem is not only a highlight on Mudcrutch’s second album (2). It’s a highlight in the Tom Petty and co. body of work.
Paul Zollo, author of one of the first books about (and with) Tom Petty (CONVERSATIONS WITH TOM PETTY) wrote this after Tom’s untimely death at age 66:
“Are those no...
[Verse 1]
Won't be there when winter comes
I ain't holding out my hands
Over a fire in a can, over a fire in a can
Goliath was tall, King David was small
You can't live on nothin' at all
You can't live on nothin' at all
[Chorus]
And I ain't gon' be hungry no more
No, I ain't gon' be hungry no more
[Verse 2]
This town broke my heart, and then just carried on
Like nothin' happened at all
Like nothin' happened at all
[Chorus]
And I ain't gon' be hungry no more
No, I ain't gon' be hungry no more
[Bridge]
Nobody cry for me, ain't nothin' to it now
The world will turn somehow
The world will turn somehow
[Chorus]
And I ain't gon' be hungry no more
No, I ain't gon' be hungry no more
No more
Hungry No More was written by Tom Petty.
Hungry No More was produced by Tom Petty & Mike Campbell & Ryan Ulyate.
