Old Garth Brooks Song Dedicated To Today’s Economic Crisis

Garth Brooks – Wolves

This amazing obscure Garth Brooks song from his No Fences album really applies in today’s terrible economic times. This song just smacks you with the reality of how bad things are for people and how bad things can and may get. This song just breaks my heart. My favorite line in the song is “Oh Lord keep me from bein’ The one the wolves pull down”

Garth Brooks, Wolves Lyrics
January’s always bitter
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
