Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos

Spills into the gulf of Mexico

Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants
那里的天际线被化学植物染上了色彩
T'put bread on the table of the working man
让辛勤劳作的人心满意足
Where the working man does his best to provide
辛勤劳作的人竭尽所能
Safety and shelter for kids and a wife
给孩子和妻子安全和庇护所
Given little love n soul every day making over time
每天付出一点点爱付出真心日久弥新
To keep the wolves away

Well I was barely thirteen when the company man

Tried to dig my daddy's grave

It happened on a French owned tanker ship

Spilling poison in the Galveston Bay

Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

Silenced any mortal cries
平息了凡人的呐喊
Cold and the grip of death stinging pain

He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

For the next few years dad was sick as a dog

But he made a recovery just to spite the odds

Settlement came and we moved out of town

Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds

Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties

But the moneys running out

So goin' for broke with every song I've made

'Cos now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
