Lyrics:
Took my first breath, where the muddy Brazos, spills into the gulf of Mexico
Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants, t'put bread on the table of the working man
Where the working man does his best to provide, safety and shelter for kids and a wife
Givin' a little of his soul every day, making over time to keep the wolves away
Well I was barely thirteen when the company man, tried to dig my daddy's grave
It happened on a French owned tanker ship, spilling poison into Galveston Bay
Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes, silenced any mortal cries
Cold and the grip of death stinging pain, he fought like hell to keep the wolves away
For the next few years dad was sick as a dog, but he made a recovery just to spite the odds
Settlement came and we moved out of town, where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds
Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties
But the moneys running out, and he's pinching for pennies
So I'm goin' for broke with every song I play, 'cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away

.My old Man's friend asked me if i had head of you,then sent me this song today..We went round,suffice to say, I have sent this on to my Grandson..Played this a few times,and well God bless you ..this song says it all..God bless you🙏🙏🙏
I just wanted to take a second and let you guys know how much this song means to me. Even before all the craziness happened, this song was always on me and my brother's drinking playlist. I work in the oil field on a drilling rig. And he was a pipe fitter or an outfit working the refineries in Houston. My baby brother was killed last year in a refinery in Houston. An accidental poisonous gas release. When you talk in your song about breathing the poisonous fire. That's literally how he was taken from us. We played this song at his funeral. And I still listen to it when I want to really get into my feelings and remember and think about him. I'm not going to lie. It's hard to make it through the whole song sometimes. I've spent my whole life, and my brother gave his life, trying to keep the wolves away.
Dang Chad that's so awful. I'm so glad that you can get the feels from this song. Hopefully it will just bring you the good feels in time. 💔❤️🩹
Thanks real. Much love!
I love u dude!!!
In 1979 I lost a friend to an explosion in a polyethylene plant in Freeport Texas. I’ve worked in these plants all my working days. This song hits me and those like me deeply🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best, best, best story ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a better man for seeing this play out.... my favorite song in the world come full circle... watching you refuse to capitalize on it..... the rewards for you are well deserved my friend!!! My dad was a pipe fitter for altair construction out of houston in 1988.... he was fortunate like your dad!!! Thanks for being a good dude!!!!
Kevin Galloway is great with this wonderful song, and the storytelling before they play, but also take note: that's Mark William's on the cello - the beautiful cello. Together, they lift this song to new heights.
