The Wolf Is At Your Door

(álbum: Going Back Home - 1971)

Walking past the kids coming back from the party
Smiles on their faces you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that Buick you got running
Your baby by your side told the whole world you're coming

Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doing but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much
Working your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door
He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door
You give it all, he wants more
There's a wolf at your door

He says he's playing for keeps
Breathing down your neck
Boy, it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

They'll take it away when you're not looking
Look you in the eyes tell you how good they're doing
Smiles on their faces are lies to keep you from knowing
You're not guilty you are the victim
But you still pay for the crime
Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time

You work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doing but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much
Working your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door
He says he's playing for keeps
Breathing down your neck
Boy, it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

I won't be broken, I'll fight 'til I drop
Blood running hot in my veins
But they won't be satisfied
Until they take everything

You work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doing but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much
Working your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door
He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door
You give it all, he wants more
A wolf at your door

He says he's playing for keeps
Breathing down your neck
Boy, it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door
You give it all, he wants more
A wolf at your door

He says he's playing for keeps
Breathing down your neck
Boy, it's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

There's a wolf at your door
He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door
You give it all, he wants more

There's a wolf at your door
He says he's playing for keeps
Breathing down your neck
Boy, it's sure hard to sleep

Wolf at your door
He wants your money, wants your soul
Wolf at your door

Walking past the kids coming back from the party
Smiles on their faces you remember so well how it was
