Chased from the world I once shared with man Now I must seek asylum wherever I can Blamed for so many things I've never done They point and say "there, he's the one".
Once like the buffalo my numbers were great But now for some company I constantly wait My sleep is filled with dreams of days gone by and each morning I awake with a tear in my eye.
They call me a predator, they don't understand I'm simply a hunter with no gun in hand I desire no trophy to hang on my wall But just a full belly when night starts to fall.
Envious of my dog cousins and his master's love And howling with loneliness to the Heaven's above Though I long for a touch or a pat on the head By nature's decision I'll have freedom instead.
Married for life to such a beautiful mate Until last winter when a bullet decided her fate The pups are all grown and gone from the den And I'm too old and stubborn to start over again.
Now I'm truly a loner the legend is true But forever searching for a friend like you It's so hard to express but I'll try if I can In your own words "hey I love you man".
As your world grows and buildings get taller My little hiding place keeps getting smaller If you don't come to your senses sometime soon Then who will be left to howl at the moon?
