I feel a knot in my throat
The voice trembles as it comes out
Under the bed, the monsters
Keep me from sleeping

I've been feeling lonely since I was a kid
Even with people around me
I always fought for freedom
But being free just made me alone

Aah! I got fire in my eyes
Aah! Barefooted, I'm going hunting
Aah! To find my place
I embrace the darkness that has always been my home

Now I run with my wolves
I dance around the fire
Right in the eye, I look at the monsters
That insist on staring at me

They always thought I was crazy
For wanting to be a little more
I know I have my monsters
But I keep going

Uoh, uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh, uoh, uoh
Ah, ah!

I'll show you all the things
That you didn't appreciate
That you never expected to see
From this country boy

Now I run with my wolves
I dance around the fire
Right in the eye, I look at the monsters
That insist on staring at me

Now I run with my wolves
I dance around the fire
Right in the eye I look at the monsters
That insist on staring at me

They always thought I was crazy
For wanting to be a little more
I know I have my monsters
But I keep going

Uoh, uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh, uoh
Uoh, uoh, uoh, uoh
Ah, ah!

It's so clear now
I wish I could tell
To that child
That doesn't see yet

It's so clear now
I know it's gonna hurt
But this is necessary
For who you're gonna be
