But Lord this one beats all
 The wind ain't quit for weeks now
 And the drifts are ten feet tall
 I been all night drivin' heifers
 Closer in to lower ground
 Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
 'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down

 Charlie Barton and his family
 Stopped today to say goodbye
 He said the bank was takin' over
 The last few years were just too dry
 And I promised that I'd visit
 When they found a place in town
 Then I spent a long time thinkin'
 'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

 Lord please shine a light of hope
 On those of us who fall behind
 And when we stumble in the snow
 Could you help us up while there's still time

 Well I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
 You've always seen me through
 And I know you got your reasons
 For each and every thing you do
 But tonight outside my window
 There's a lonesome mournful sound
 And I just can't keep from thinkin'
 'Bout the ones the wolves pull down

 Oh Lord keep me from bein'
 The one the wolves pull down
