Wolves Lyrics - One To The Heart, One To The Head - Gretchen Peters

January's always bitter 

But Lord this one beats all 

The wind ain't quit for weeks now 

And the drifts are ten feet tall 

I been all night drivin' heifers 

Closer in to lower ground 

Then I spent the mornin' thinkin' 

'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down. 

Charlie Barton and his family 

Stopped today to say goodbye 

He said the bank was takin' over 

The last few years were just too dry 

And I promised that I'd visit 

When they found a place in town 

Then I spent a long time thinkin' 

'Bout the ones the wolves pull down. 

Lord please shine a light of hope 

On those of us who fall behind 

And when we stumble in the snow 

Could you help us up while there's still time. 

Well I don't mean to be complainin' Lord 

You've always seen me through 

And I know you got your reasons 

For each and every thing you do 

But tonight outside my window 

There's a lonesome mournful sound 

And I just can't keep from thinkin' 

'Bout the ones the wolves pull down.
