Wolves

I knew I'd be a drifter

Since the day I turned sixteen

Watching my dad fix up cars

And the smell of gasoline

I just wish that someone

Took the time to warn me

'Bout those evil things

That lie beyond the trees

Cus' when the wolves are hungry

The wolves they'll eat

I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

And I've never been any good

At every sticking around

But I'll always be the one

That'll let you down

Seems like my feet start running

Before they hit the ground

Just wish they didn't always take me

To the wrong side of town

Cus' when the wolves are hungry

The wolves they'll eat

I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

Now when the wolves are hungry

The wolves they'll eat

I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

And I could see the fire in their eyes

The blood on their teeth

And they could smell the fear in my bones

And hear the shaking of my knees

The beautiful women

The sweet amphetamines

I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me
