Uncle Lucius Keep The Wolves Away

took my first breath where the muddy brazos
spills into the gulf of mexico
where the skylines covered my chemical plants
that put bread on the table of a workin man
well the workin man does his best to provide
safety and shelter for kids and a wife
given a little of his soul everyday
makin overtime to keep the wolves away

well i was ly thirteen when the company man
tried to dig my daddy's grave
it happened on a french owned tanker ship
spillin' poison into galveston bay
the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

silenced, any s or cries
cold and the grit, the damn stingin pain
but 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.
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 money's runnin out and he's pinchin pennies
so i'm going for broke with every song i play,
cause now it's my turn to 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

That put the bread on the table of the workin' man Where the workin′ man does his best to provide Safety and shelter for kids and a wife Giving a little of his soul every day Makin' overtime to keep the wolves away I was barely 13 when the company men Tried to dig my daddy's 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 in the grave, but 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 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 money′s running out, and he's pinching for pennies So I′m going for broke with every song I play 'Cause now it's my turn to 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
That put the bread on the table of the workin' man

Where the workin' man does his best to provide
Safety and shelter for kids and a wife
Giving a little of his soul every day
Makin' overtime to keep the wolves away

I was barely 13 when the company men
Tried to dig my daddy's 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 in the grave, but 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 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 money's running out, and he's pinching for pennies
So I'm going for broke with every song I play
'Cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away

Codeine the grit but death stang in pain -
He fought like hell to keep the wolves away
