American Aquarium - Wolves Lyrics






I knew I'd be a drifter
Since the day I turned sixteen
Watching my dad fix up cars
And the smell of gasoline
I just wish that someone
Took the time to warn me
'Bout those evil things
That lie beyond the trees

Cus' when the wolves are hungry
The wolves they'll eat
I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

And I've never been any good
At every sticking around
But I'll always be the one
That'll let you down
Seems like my feet start running
Before they hit the ground
Just wish they didn't always take me
To the wrong side of town

Cus' when the wolves are hungry
The wolves they'll eat
I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

Now when the wolves are hungry
The wolves they'll eat
I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

And I could see the fire in their eyes
The blood on their teeth
And they could smell the fear in my bones
And hear the shaking of my knees
The beautiful women
The sweet amphetamines
I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me
I just wish these wolves would get their claws out of me

  1. S.... K....

    Love these guys! Oh, and I see that 92.1 sticker on the case. ♡ NB ♡ See y'all for New Year's Eve!

  2. J.... F....

    These guys always write songs about my life

  3. J.... F....

    Awesome!! Sad that music artist like these don't get the exposure they should this had a Nostalgic feeling somehow for me took me back to 1996😁

  4. C.... H....

    I think everybody has a song that they feel is the personification of themselves. This song is so accurately me that I get the chills every time I hear it

  5. S.... E....

    I live in Raleigh, NC and noticed in an article that you originally hailed from this same city as well so I decided to check y'all out. I was not disappointed in the least. You know how a new fan/admirer. Blessed Be.

  6. P.... 1....

    I saw them open for corb Lund in Ontario. This is my new favourite song.

  7. d.... ....

    who's singing the high harmony on this?

  8. J.... H....

    This should be on THE WALKING DEAD!!!!

    J.... H....

    Jessica Halfmann They did a version for the walking dead, but they didn't use it.

    J.... H....

    Jessica Halfmann it sounds good, he played a while back in Charlotte.

  9. D.... W....

    Just found out about these guys and immediately became addicted.

    D.... W....

    ya I had that same problem with heroin.

  10. C.... O....

    Kind of reminds me of 'The Weight (Take a Load Off, Annie)' by The Band...

    C.... O....

    @Clinton O'Shea I think it's actually "take a load off, Fannie," but I agree it does have a similar feel.

    C.... O....

    @Caleb Hall it's definitely "Annie"

    C.... O....

    +Kevan Irsch No, It's definitely "Fannie"

    C.... O....

    @Will Patterson You're right, I was mistaken. This article explains the long-time confusion of the lyrics: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/20/the-weight-of-our-ears-take-a-load-off-who/

    C.... O....

    +Kevan Irsch After reading that article, I'm none the wiser. It doesn't state which is right either - only what different sources claim to be correct. Dammit, I must know... >:(

  11. G.... ....

    I think you guys should do a tour with Drive By Truckers, Lucero, and Ryan Bingham. Shows would sell out.

    G.... ....

    Ryan Bingham doesn't need any help sellin out his shows

  12. r.... ....

    I had the privilege of opening up for these guys last night. Awesome band.

  13. E.... A....

    Glimpses of asheville

    E.... A....

    Ethan Anderson the live footage is from fall for greenville

  14. D.... J....

    I think this will be THE album... I f you catch what I'm saying. Crazy how far you've came from one album to the next.

  15. J.... M....

    AA is the fucking shit... 

  16. D.... S....

    Excellent, looking forward to the new album.

  17. A.... K....

    PURE TALENT. Counting down the days until this album comes out!
