[Intro]
 C#m    E    B    AX 2
[Verse 1]
Took C#mmy first breath, where the muddy Brazos, Espills into the gulf of Mexico
Where the Bskyline’s colored by chemical plants, t’put Abread on the table of the working man
Where the wC#morking man does his best to provide, Esafety and shelter for kids and a wife
GBiven a little of his soul every day, making Aover time to keep the wolves awayA  C#m  
[Instrumental]
  C#m   E   B   AX2
[Verse 2]
Well I was C#mbarely thirteen when the company man, Etried to dig my daddy’s grave
It Bhappened on a French owned tanker ship, spilling Apoison in the Galveston Bay
Where the lC#miquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes, Esilenced any mortal cries
CBold and the grip of death stinging pain, he Afought like hell to keep the wolves away
[Intrumental]
  C#m    E    B   AX 2
[Verse 3]
For the C#mnext few years dad was sick as a dog, but he Emade a recovery just to spite the odds
SBettlement came and we moved out of town, where the Asky isn’t heavy with refinery clouds
Yeah C#mhe’s still alive he’s doing good he’s in his fifties
But the Emoneys running out, and he’s pinching for pennies
I'm Bgoin’ for broke with every song I’ve made, ‘cos Anow it’s my turn to keep the wolves away
[Outro]
 C#m   E   B   AX 4
