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' hefers 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
