Keep the Wolves Away Uncle Lucius
Capo 2nd
[Bm]Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos spills into the Gulf of Mexico[D]
[A]Where the skylines covered my chemical plants that put bread on the table of[G] a workin man
[Bm]Well the workin man does his best to provide safety and shelter for kids and[D] a wife
[A]Given a little of his soul everyday makin overtime to keep the wolves away[G]
[Bm]Well I was barely thirteen when the company man tried to dig my daddy's grav[D]e
[A]It happened on a French owned tanker ship spillin' poison into Galveston Bay[G]
[Bm]The liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes silenced, any moans or cri[D]es
[A]Cold and the Grit, the damn stinkin pain but he fought like hell to keep the[G] wolves away.
[Bm]For the next few years dad was sick as a dog but he made a recovery just to [D]spite the odds.
Settlement[A] came and we moved out of town where the sky isn't heavy with refi[G]nery clouds.
[Bm]Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties but the money's ru[D]nnin out and
he's pinchin pennies
So I'm goi[A]ng for broke with every song I play, cause now it's my turn to kee[G]p the wolves away.
