Wolves

[Verse 1] January's always bitter But, Lord, this one beats all The wind ain't quit for weeks now And the drifts are ten feet tall I been all night drivin' heifers Closer in to lower ground Then I spent the mornin' thinkin' About the ones the wolves pulled down [Verse 2] Charlie Barton and his family Stopped today to say goodbye He said the bank was takin' over The last few years were just too dry And I promised that I'd visit When they found a place in town Then I spent a long time thinkin' About the ones the wolves pull down [Chorus] Lord, please shine, a light of hope On those of us, who fall behind And when we stumble in the snow Could you help us up, while there's still time [Verse 3] Well, I don't mean to be complainin', Lord You've always seen me through And I know you got your reasons For each and every thing you do But tonight outside my window There's a lonesome mournful sound And I just can't keep from thinkin' About the ones the wolves pull down [Outro] Oh, Lord, keep me from bein' The one the wolves pull down
