The Wolf

(album: Tornillo - 2022)

Yeah, I kiss my wife goodbye howl at the moonlight
Time to make some money everything's gonna be alright
They tried to hold me down but can't nothing last forever
I feel it in my bones there's a change in the weather
Put me back in the saddle out on the road this way I make a living
Is the only way I know
You're messing with some forces that your mind can't comprehend
I've done been to the bottom I ain't going back again

So who in the hell you think you're playing with now
You done fucked around and let the wolf out
And I'll be prowling while you sleep
You're playing for fun I'm playing to eat

I've done rattled through a tempest, I've done rocked through the storm
These scars that I bear are hard earned and battle worn
They're from crawling and scratching the whole damn way
Everything that you see is uncut and self-made
'Cause I was born a rebel doing battle with the Devil
How the hell you gonna stop me when you ain't on my level
You ain't seen the things I've seen or done the things I've done
All just to survive another trip around the sun

So who in the hell you think you're playing with now
You done fucked around and let the wolf out
And I'll be prowling while you sleep
You're playing for fun I'm playing to eat

'Cause I'm the type that creeps when the night wind moans
When the pale moon shines
When you're scared and alone
I'll be on the hunt while you are fast asleep
I'm rough around the edges and long in the teeth
So come on show me what you got
You dancing with a juggernaut
I done had to fight for every last damn thing I got
I don't care about your feelings or if you understand me
All these things that I do I do to feed my family

So who in the hell you think you're playing with now
You done fucked around and let the wolf out
And I'll be prowling while you sleep
You're playing for fun I'm playing to eat
It's about time the world feels me now
'Cause y'all fucked around and let this wolf out
And I'll be prowling so stay asleep
Keep playing for fun 'cause I'm playing to eat
I'm playing to eat
