People I got wolves' blood in my veins
I live way out in the woods
People you know I've got wolves' blood in my veins
Well you know the crocodiles and the foxes and the grizzles
They all know me by my name
When I was just a little boy
I used to play around with rattlesnakes
Well, when I was a little boy
I used to crawl around in the grass with rattlesnakes
Now I'm a full grown man
Alligators is my associates
Let me explain this
I still live way out in the woods
People you know I ain't afraid of nothin'
I live way out in the woods
An people you know I ain't afraid of nothin'
The bogeyman start runnin'
When he heard me commin'
I sleep with one eye open
And I don't ever leave no trail
Well yeah I sleep with one eye open
And I don't ever leave no trail
If you come into my woods
You just might, loose your tail
'Cause I love them tails
Fox tails
Pig tails
