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 you`re comin`


Chorus:


Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you`re doin`,
but so many fights
Trusted too many, believed too much,
workin` your life to the bone


There`s a wolf at your door,
he wants your money, wants your soul
A wolf at your door, you give it all, he wants more
There`s a wolf at your door,
he says he`s playin` for keeps
Breathin` down your neck, boy
it`s sure hard to sleep


With a wolf at your door


They`ll take it away, when you`re not lookin`
Look you in the eyes, tell you how good they`re doin`
Smiles on their faces, are lies to keep you from knowin`
You`re not guilty, you are the victim,
but you still pay for the crime
Don`t look for trouble, it`ll always find you in time


Work so hard to do what is right
Believed in what you`re doin`,
but so many fights
Trusted too many, relieved too much,
workin` your life to the bone


There`s a wolf at your door,
he says he`s playin` for keeps
Breathin` down your neck, boy
it`s sure hard to sleep


With a wolf at your door


It won`t be broken, I`ll fight `til I drop,
blood burnin` hot in my veins


But they won`t be satisfied until they take everything


(chorus repeats out...)
