[Verse 1]
Mud on my boots again
Fence line bent in the wind
You left your ring on the dash
I left a dent in the tin
Cold beer warm in my hand
Your name stuck in my throat
I drove that black road home
With a half-burned afterglow
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night got mean
When the moon went thin
I heard that hollow call
From the timberline again
[Chorus]
Wolves cry, wolves cry
Out where the fields go wide
Wolves cry, wolves cry
I can’t make you lie
Wolves cry, wolves cry
And they know my kind
Wolves cry, wolves cry
When I’m lost inside
[Verse 2]
Mama said boy don’t run
From the hurt you earned
But I built my house on dust
And watched my good days burn
Your laugh in a faded photo
My truck in a gravel spin
I keep one hand on the wheel
And one hand on the sin
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night got mean
When the moon went thin
I heard that hollow call
From the timberline again
[Chorus]
Wolves cry, wolves cry
Out where the fields go wide
Wolves cry, wolves cry
I can’t make you lie
Wolves cry, wolves cry
And they know my kind
Wolves cry, wolves cry
When I’m lost inside
[Bridge]
If you ever hear me calling
Don’t answer soft
I’ve been half a man
Since the wire got cut
I’ll stand in the cold
Let it strip me clean
Till that cry rolls out
And carries me
[Chorus]
Wolves cry, wolves cry
Out where the fields go wide
Wolves cry, wolves cry
I can’t make you lie
Wolves cry, wolves cry
And they know my kind
Wolves cry, wolves cry
When I’m lost inside
[Outro]
Wolves cry
Wolves cry
Out where the fields go wide
