[00:31.47]Took my first breath where the muddy brazoss[00:35.26]Pills into the gulf of mexico[00:39.06]Where the skylines colored by chemical plants[00:42.99]Put bread on the table of a working man[00:47.00]Where the working man does his best to provide[00:51.11]Safety and shelter for kids and a wife[00:55.10]Given a little of his soul everyday making overtime[01:00.56]To keep the wolves away[01:38.00]I was barely thirteen when the company man[01:41.91]Tried to dig my daddy's grave[01:46.10]It happened on a french owned tanker ship[01:49.63]Spilling poison into Galveston Bay[01:53.68]Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes[01:57.59]Silenced any mortal cries[02:01.85]Codeine the grit but death stinging in pain[02:05.44]He fought like hell to keep the wolves away[02:44.47]For the next few years dad was sick as a dog[02:48.38]But he made a recovery just to spite the odds[02:52.65]Settlement came and we moved out of town[02:56.16]Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds[03:00.97]Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties[03:04.28]But the money's running out[03:06.48]And he's pinching for pennies[03:08.82]So I'm going for broke with every song I play[03:12.30]Cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
