Wolf At Your Door

 

Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin' past the kids
Comin' back from the party
Smiles on their faces
You remember so well how it was

Nights in the back of that Buick you got runnin'
Your baby by your side
Told the whole world you're comin'

Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin'
But so many fights
Trusted too many
Believed too much
Workin' 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
And the wolf at your door
He says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' 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 lookin'
Look you in the eyes
Tell you how good they're doin'
Smiles on their faces
Are lies to keep you from knowin'

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

Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin'
But so many fights
Trusted too many
Believed too much
Workin' your life to the bone

There's a wolf at your door
He says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
It's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door

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

Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you're doin'
But so many fights
Trusted too many
Believed too much
Workin' 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
And the wolf at your door
He says he's playin' for keeps
Breathin' down your neck, boy
It's sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door
