Two a.m. with the lost and the lonely
Walkin past the kids, comin back from the party
Smiles on their faces, you remember so well how it was
Nights in the back of that buick that you got runnin
Your baby by your side, told the whole world youre comin
Chorus:
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what youre doin,
But so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much,
Workin your life to the bone
Theres a wolf at your door,
He wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more
Theres a wolf at your door,
He says hes playin for keeps
Breathin down your neck, boy
Its sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door
Theyll take it away, when youre not lookin
Look you in the eyes, tell you how good theyre doin
Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin
Youre not guilty, you are the victim,
But you still pay for the crime
Dont look for trouble, itll always find you in time
Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what youre doin,
But so many fights
Trusted too many, relieved too much,
Workin your life to the bone
Theres a wolf at your door,
He says hes playin for keeps
Breathin down your neck, boy
Its sure hard to sleep
With a wolf at your door
It wont be broken, Ill fight til I drop,
Blood burnin hot in my veins
But they wont be satisfied until they take everything
(chorus repeats out...)
