“Hungry Eyes,” sometimes known as “Mama’s Hungry Eyes,” is one of Merle Haggard’s most beloved and enduring songs. Written by Haggard himself, it was released in 1969 on his classic album A Portrait of Merle Haggard. The song became a major hit, reaching the top of the country charts and cementing itself as one of his most heartfelt tributes to working-class life and family resilience.

The song reflects Haggard’s own upbringing and pays homage to the sacrifices made by his mother after the death of his father. With its emotional storytelling, gentle delivery, and timeless country sound, “Hungry Eyes” remains a standout example of Haggard’s gift for writing songs that speak directly to the American experience.
