The Wolf Made Me Do It
“The Wolf Made Me Do It”
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin’, turned on my radio,
99.5 The Wolf, it’s the only way to go.
They’re playin’ George Strait, and now I’m feelin’ fine,
But by 10 a.m., I got a mullet down my spine.
Yeah, I’m growin’ country faster than a Texas flood,
Might trade my car for a truck, for rollin’ in the mud.
(Chorus)
The Wolf made me do it, I swear it’s true,
I wasn’t born this country, but I’m stickin’ like glue.
Now I’m two-steppin’ in my driveway, boots in the street,
I got whiskey in my coffee, life’s feelin’ pretty sweet.
The Wolf made me do it, yeah, I blame the FM,
If you ain’t tuned in, you ain’t one of us then.
(Verse 2)
They play so many classics, I’m stuck in the past,
I’m hearin’ Garth and Reba, and I’m singin’ loud and fast.
My sedan’s now a pickup, it just happened overnight,
I threw a cooler in the back and called it feelin’ right.
Heard a love song ‘bout a tractor, now I’m lookin’ at my Deere,
Whispered, “You complete me,” and shed a happy tear.
(Chorus)
The Wolf made me do it, I swear it’s true,
I wasn’t born this country, but I’m stickin’ like glue.
Now I’m two-steppin’ in my driveway, boots in the street,
I got whiskey in my coffee, life’s feelin’ pretty sweet.
The Wolf made me do it, yeah, I blame the FM,
If you ain’t tuned in, you ain’t one of us then.
(Bridge)
Now I’m howlin’ like a coyote, stuck in 5 o’clock traffic,
Screamin’ Luke Bryan lyrics, and I’m feelin’ kinda tragic.
Got a BBQ pit smellin’ up the neighborhood,
I swear The Wolf’s the reason why I’m livin’ so good.
(Chorus)
The Wolf made me do it, I swear it’s true,
I wasn’t born this country, but I’m stickin’ like glue.
Now I’m two-steppin’ in my driveway, boots in the street,
I got whiskey in my coffee, life’s feelin’ pretty sweet.
The Wolf made me do it, yeah, I blame the FM,
If you ain’t tuned in, you ain’t one of us then.
(Outro)
So if you catch me dancin’ in the Walmart aisle,
Or hummin’ banjo tunes that make the neighbors smile,
Just remember, folks, it’s all in good fun,
The Wolf made me do it—now I’m country number one!
