[00:00.00]Keep The Wolves Away - Uncle Lucius
[00:31.28]Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos
[00:35.19]Spills into the gulf of Mexico
[00:39.18]Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants
[00:42.97]T'put bread on the table of the working man
[00:46.98]Where the working man does his best to provide
[00:50.76]Safety and shelter for kids and a wife
[00:54.56]Given little love n soul every day making over time
[01:00.79]To keep the wolves away
[01:37.90]Well I was barely thirteen when the company man
[01:42.03]Tried to dig my daddy's grave
[01:46.39]It happened on a French owned tanker ship
[01:49.54]Spilling poison in the Galveston Bay
[01:53.90]Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes
[01:57.69]Silenced any mortal cries
[02:01.64]Cold and the grip of death stinging pain
[02:05.68]He fought like hell to keep the wolves away
[02:44.78]For the next few years dad was sick as a dog
[02:48.57]But he made a recovery just to spite the odds
[02:53.26]Settlement came and we moved out of town
[02:56.66]Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds
[03:01.11]Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties
[03:04.49]But the moneys running out
[03:06.59]And he's pinching for pennies
[03:08.89]So goin' for broke with every song I've made
[03:12.15]'Cos now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
