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 About those evil things That lie beyond the trees 'Cause when the wolves are hungry The wolves'll eat I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me And I've never been any good At ever 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 'Cause when the wolves are hungry The wolves'll eat I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me And I can see the fire in their eyes The blood on their teeth They could smell the fear in my bones And hear the shaking of my knees When I close my eyes I can see 'em in my dreams I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me
