[Verse 1]
Only pack I ever ran with were the cigarettes in my pocket
My only friend was the sun and the wind to my back on the road I was walkin’
Nowhere to go, no one to know when I got there
Til’ I met you, I had nothing to lose and if I did, I didn’t care

[Chorus]
Now this lone wolf is done runnin’ down the moon
In the daylight dark of the night this heart is howlin’ for you
Yeah, this lone wolf ain’t lonely anymore
‘Cause you weren’t afraid to reach out and save a lone wolf at your door

[Verse 2]
Inside I still gotta wild side with a taste for good and gone
Yeah, your lovе likes all my inside out and leavеs my porch light on
You sprung my cage, red lined my gauge and fueled a fire
Yeah, your hand in mine makes my heart soar like a hallelujah choir

[Chorus]
Yeah, this lone wolf is done runnin’ down the moon
In the daylight dark of the night this heart is howlin’ for you
Yeah, this lone wolf ain’t lonely anymore
‘Cause you weren’t afraid to reach out and save a lone wolf at your door

[Outro]
‘Cause you weren’t afraid to reach out and save the lone wolf at your door

This lone wolf, this lone wolf, this lone wolf, this lone wolf

Eric Church

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
