Lyrics
Wolf Creek 2007 Words and Music by Dan and Carla Chapman
Spent most of my life on the run
Now all I wanna do is go back where I'm from.
Find that old oak tree down by the creek side
Where the water runs deep and the
water runs wide
Wolf Creek calling my name
Wolf Creek calling me home
Oh how I wish I could ease this pain
I can hear Wolf Creek calling my name
Fell in love with Jessie the love of my life
I?d a done anything to make her my wife
She left me for that rum running son of a gun
So I shot him dead now I?m on the run
Wolf Creek calling my name
Wolf Creek calling me home
Oh how I wish I could ease this pain
I can hear Wolf Creek calling my name
I've been forty long years in this life of fear
Going from town to town while watching my rear.
Broke the the golden rule thou shall not kill.
Now I'm on the road again just out of Knoxville.
I can't undo all the wrong that Iv'e done
Wanna bury it deep in the setting sun
God forgive me for all thast I've done
Maybe find some peace with the help of your son.
Wolf Creek calling my name
Wolf Creek calling me home
Oh how I wish I could ease this pain
I can hear Wolf Creek calling my name
I remember Wolf Creek when I was a boy
I could hide in the depths of the green
Wish I could feel the cool waters there
Where the living was easy and life was serene.
Wolf Creek calling my name
Wolf Creek calling me home
Oh how I wish I could ease this pain
I can hear Wolf Creek calling my name
Just past Rocky gap my
journey is done
Gonna sit here by Wolf Creek in the noonday sun
I hear a loud crack - it sounds like a gun
I feel burning pain, & I?m going numb
I can see mama and my grampa Ned
Telling me to follow so I guess I?m dead
Now I feel so good and I have no pain
And I hear Wolf Creek calling my name
I see a bright light and their calling my name
and I hear Wolf Creek calling me home
You took away my sorrow, you took
away my pain
Wolf Creek Wolf Creek calling my name
You took away my sorrow
you took away my pain
Wolf Creek Wolf Creek calling my name
(repeat 4 times)
I hear Wolf Creek calling me home.
I
