When I was three my mom told me
It's time to pack our things we gotta leave
I didn't know where but it felt so far
Without my dad and just our car
Six whole years had passed on by
The bruises healed but the scars survived
The days were warm but the nights were cold
Cause there's no heat in a broke down car
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
So I can sleep in a bed tonight
In my teens things became clear
I hated my mom for bringing us here
But when my shirt had holes and my stomach would growl
My mama she went out on the prowl
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
Mama's gonna sleep with the wolves tonight
So I can eat some food tonight
At 23 my mom told me
You gotta pack your things it's time to leave
We didn't know where but we knew it'd be far
Without my mom and just a guitar
I'm gonna sing for the wolves tonight
I'm gonna sing for the wolves tonight
I'm gonna sing for the wolves tonight
So my mom can sleep in a bed tonight
I'm gonna sing for wolves tonight
I'm gonna sing for wolves tonight
I'm gonna sing for wolves tonight
I'm gonna sing for wolves tonight
