The Wolf Comes Home
TitanChord
Three years gone and the road grew bones
Came up the river on a stranger's boat
Same gravel, same hound dog moan
Same Hank tape stuck in old Ray's throat
Mama's porch swing rotted through
Sheriff's truck got a new dent on the side
Brother sittin' where I used to sit
Cleanin' a gun he learned to hide
The wolf comes home tonight, boys
The wolf comes home tonight
Don't bolt your door, don't kiss your wife
The wolf comes home tonight
They told y'all I was killed up north
By a kid with a rifle and a scared command
But I crawled back through Mexico dirt
With three other men's blood on my hand
The boy who pointed me out at the depot
Sells insurance now on Main and Vine
He don't know I been watchin' his house
Don't know I been countin' the time
The wolf comes home tonight, boys
The wolf comes home tonight
Don't bolt your door, don't kiss your wife
The wolf comes home tonight
I ain't the boy you raised, mama
I ain't the boy that left
I'm the thing your boy became
After the boy was bled
The wolf comes home tonight, y'all
The wolf comes home tonight
Teeth still sharp from the shoreline fight
The wolf comes home tonight
The wolf comes home tonight
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
Three years gone and the road grew bones Came up the river on a stranger's boat Same gravel, same hound dog moan Same Hank tape stuck in old Ray's throat
Mama's porch swing rotted through Sheriff's truck got a new dent on the side Brother sittin' where I used to sit Cleanin' a gun he learned to hide
The wolf comes home tonight, boys The wolf comes home tonight Don't bolt your door, don't kiss your wife The wolf comes home tonight
They told y'all I was killed up north By a kid with a rifle and a scared command But I crawled back through Mexico dirt With three other men's blood on my hand
The boy who pointed me out at the depot Sells insurance now on Main and Vine He don't know I been watchin' his house Don't know I been countin' the time
The wolf comes home tonight, boys The wolf comes home tonight Don't bolt your door, don't kiss your wife The wolf comes home tonight
I ain't the boy you raised, mama I ain't the boy that left I'm the thing your boy became After the boy was bled
The wolf comes home tonight, y'all The wolf comes home tonight Teeth still sharp from the shoreline fight The wolf comes home tonight The wolf comes home tonight
