Raised By Wolves Lyrics by Tommy Howell

American Storyteller

0

I was born in the back of a dusty saloon
No silver at home just a rusty spittoon
Daddy was gone by the time I was three
Was raised by wolves running in the streets
I prowl upon secrets and prey on lies
Scratching and clawing is how I survive
Momma always told me that I should be good
I’ve spent my whole damn life misunderstood
When you’re raised by wolves
You gotta know your own pack
And follow the rules
You try to leave too soon
You’ll hear the devil laugh
And the wolves start to howl at the moon
Hunt or be hunted by the light of the moon
Be quick or be dead by the stroke of high noon
God is your maker; you’ll meet him soon
If Heaven’s too full, Hell better make room
I’ve tried to be good but I only failed
Reached out for help but that ship sailed
Hurt people hurt people that’s how it goes
If hustling was a game I’d be all pro
When you’re raised by wolves
You gotta know your own pack
And follow the rules
If you try to leave too soon
You’ll hear the devil laugh
And the wolves start to howl at the moon
Before Momma died she spoke and I heard
The angel of death and her life changing words
Do as I say boy, not as you do
And may the good lord's blessings shine upon you…
Now I’m a preacher spreading the word
Shining my light in the name of the lord
Shallow regrets will leave scars on your soul
When you play the devil’s game
You pay the devil’s toll
When you’re raised by wolves
… raised by wolves
