Keep The Wolves Away - Uncle Lucius

Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos

Spills into the gulf of Mexico

Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants

T'put bread on the table of the working man

Where the working man does his best to provide

Safety and shelter for kids and a wife

Given little love n soul every day making over time

To keep the wolves away

Well I was barely thirteen when the company man

Tried to dig my daddy's grave

It happened on a French owned tanker ship

Spilling poison in the Galveston Bay

Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

Silenced any mortal cries

Cold and the grip of death stinging pain

He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

For the next few years dad was sick as a dog

But he made a recovery just to spite the odds

Settlement came and we moved out of town

Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds

Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties

But the moneys running out

And he's pinching for pennies

So goin' for broke with every song I've made

'Cos now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
