Black Wolf Blues

[Verse 1]
The storms are on the hill
I always think of Jacob
Always seemed to say
The wrong thing at the right time
But now he's long gone and so are my chances of hearing any good news coming through this time
Mary was a sweetheart, Mary got married
To an Illinois farmer, who's name was Paul
They never had much but they always had somethin'
And somethin's always better than nothin' at all

[Chorus]
Black wolf is running out in the trees
Red eyes on fire, hungry and hard
Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?
Keep that old black wolf out of my yard

[Verse 2]
Lived on a dirt road
Never got longer
Now the one I'm on is paved and nеver ends
When I meet a strangеr
There's nothing stranger
Feeling that I'm meeting them all over again
Storm's getting closer
Man outside of town
Says he's from the book of prophecy and light
And the people run to him 'cause they need something holy
But faith and prayers only bait his appetite

[Chorus]
That black wolf's got a taste for your blood now
Red eyes on fire, hungry and hard
Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?
Keep that old black wolf out of my yard
Lord won't you save us from the evil in the world?
