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
