Closer in to lower ground
And I promised that I'd visit
He said, the bank was takin' over
There's a lonesome, mournful sound
And I know You got your reasons
Oh Lord, keep me from bein'
But tonight outside my window
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
'Bout the ones, the wolves pulled down
I don't mean to be complainin', Lord
Stopped today to say, goodbye
You've always seen me through
When they found a place in town
For each and every thing You do
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
Could You help us up while there's still time?
Charlie Barton and his family
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
The last few years were just too dry
'Bout the ones, the wolves pull down
And when we stumble in the snow
And the drifts are ten feet tall
'Bout the ones, the wolves pull down
I've been all night drivin' heifers
On those of us who fall behind
The wind ain't quite for weeks now
Lord, please shine a light of hope
