Music and Lyrics by Owen Temple and Walt Wilkins
Hungry wolves at my door
Every night there’s one wolf more
I can hear you
Crows all up in my tree
I know you got your eyes on me
I can feel them
And I know you can already taste my bones
I know it’s your job not to leave me alone
It’s the same game for us all
Trying to hold trouble to a draw
There’s a snake in the shade playing hard to see
He’d be set for days if he gets hold of me
I’m gonna step lightly
There’s junk in the water and in the air
Man it’s everywhere
And it’s just looking for a home
And I know you can already taste my bones
I know it’s your job not to leave me alone
It’s the same game for us all
Trying to hold trouble to a draw
It’s a midway walk past the carney’s call
You knock down the bottles or you lose it all
While you’re trying to win that big stuffed bear
Your ex-wife, the taxman, and some fire ants too
They were up on the corner asking me about you
You might take the long way home
And I know you can already taste my bones
I know it’s your job not to leave me alone
It’s the same game for us all
Trying to hold trouble to a draw
Trying to hold trouble to a draw
