Keep The Wolves Away |
| Took my first breath, where the muddy Brazos |
| Spills into the Gulf of Mexico |
| Where the skyline’s colored by chemical plants |
| T’put bread on the table of the working man |
| Where the working man does his best to provide |
| Safety and shelter for kids and a wife |
| Given little of his soul every day |
| Making over time to keep the wolves away |
| Well I was barely thirteen when the company man |
| Tried to dig my dad his grave |
| It happened on a French owned tanker ship |
| Spillin' |
| poison |
| in the Galveston Bay |
| Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes |
| Silenced any mortal cries |
| Cold and the grip of death stinging pain |
| He fought like hell to keep the wolves away |
| For the next few years dad was sick as a dog |
| But he made a recovery just to spite the odds |
| The settlement came and we moved out of town |
| Where the sky isn’t heavy with refinery clouds |
| Yeah he’s still alive he’s doing good he’s in his fifties |
| But the moneys running out, 'n he’s pinching for pennies |
| So goin' for broke with every song I’ve made |
| Cause now it’s my turn to keep the wolves away |
