[Verse 1]
---------------------
       C#m
Took my  first breath, where the muddy Brazos
E
Spills into the Gulf of Mexico
             B
Where the skyline’s colored by chemical plants
             A
T’put bread on the table of the working man
          C#m
Where the working man does his best to provide
E
Safety and shelter for kids and a wife
B
Given little of his soul every day
       A
Making over time to keep the wolves away

[Verse 2]
---------------------
             C#m
Well I was barely thirteen when the company man
E
Tried to dig my dad his grave
   B
It happened on a French owned tanker ship
            A
Spillin' poison in the Galveston Bay
          C#m
Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes
E
Silenced any mortal cries
B
Cold and the grip of death stinging pain
         A
He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

[Verse 3]
---------------------
            C#m
For the next  few years dad was sick as a dog
           E
But he made a recovery just to spite the odds
    B
The settlement came and we moved out of town
             A
Where the sky isn’t heavy with refinery clouds
     C#m
Yeah he’s still alive he’s doing good he’s in his fifties
          E
But the moneys running out, 'n he’s pinching for pennies
   B
So goin’ for broke with every song I’ve made
          A
'Cause now it’s my turn to keep the wolves away
