Wolves At The Door Lyrics

Well, I bet against the devil with a dead man's hand
Now he's comin' to collect everything that he can
I can hear him in a distance, feel him comin' for me
That's the kind of fear you know will make a man believe

I can feel him gettin' closer, scratchin' at the door
Now he's tappin' on the windows, laughin' through the floor
I can't find a place to hide so I shut out the light
And I sit here in the dark and pray he'll pass me by

Runnin' into trouble, runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta money, down to my last dime
Yeah, you'll see me every Sunday
Swear I'll pray a little more
Jesus, give me something to keep the wolves from the door

So I called in all my favors, laid it all out the line
Takin' one step forward, fallin' two steps behind
Now I'm all out of forgiveness and it's makin' me see
That I had to hit the bottom so that I could believe

Runnin' into trouble, runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta money, down to my last dime
Yeah, you'll see me every Sunday
Swear I'll pray a little more
Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door
Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door


Runnin' into trouble, runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta money, down to my last dime
Runnin' into trouble, runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta money, down to my last dime
Yeah, you'll see me every Sunday
Swear I'll pray a little more
Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door
Yeah, you'll see me every Sunday
Swear I'll pray a little more
Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door
Please, Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door

Jesus, give me something, keep the wolves from the door
