Lone Wolf Lyrics

There ain't no man gonna invade my territory
There ain't nobody out there gonna mess with me
Because I'm big and hard and battle-scarred and getting long in the tooth
Desperate and hungry and got nothing to lose

Yeah I'm a lone wolf
I've been chased and I've been bit
Yeah, I'm a lone wolf
They like to shoot at me but they miss
Yeah I'm a lone wolf and I ain't never been trapped
And God help the people that think they got me cornered at last

I've been hunting, I've been tracking
I've been running since I was 3
Born in Louisiana Swamp
Moved with the pack to Tennessee
Raised by black and white dogs to some country,some rock-n-roll They said now boy your gonna have to quit your howling so
Staying up all night and chasing Lassies by the moon
Laying up all day on the porch playing guitar tunes

Yeah I'm a lone wolf
And I no longer run with the pack
Yeah I am a lone wolf
I don't ever look back
Hey I am a lone wolf
Out here on the prowl
And most of us have been penned up but I'm still running wild
Hey I'm a lone wolf
I've been chased and I've been bit
Yeah I am a lone wolf this ole dog knows all the tricks
Hey I'm a lone wolf
Still hungry and I'm on the prowl
And most of us have been penned up but Bocephus is running wild
You better watch out because I'm hungry and I'm on the prowl

How to Format Lyrics:
