One, two, three, four, five, six

There's a dark side running 'round in me

Kids see shit that kids shouldn't see

And there's a shadow I wear everywhere I am

Like the roots of a tree wrapped around an old coffee can

And I've square danced with demons and they've stepped on my feet

I ain't up here saying I've made peace with the beast

But I threw him in a cage the best that I could

And I know he's still there

But I'm no longer scared

Of the werewolf

Werewolf

I tried to tame him with Jesus and Jim Beam

I thought I needed him around to defend me

And I see the sun through the leaves and hope up ahead

But moons still get full, so I ain't out of the woods quite yet

And I've square danced with demons and they've stepped on my feet

I ain't up here saying I've made peace with the beast

But I threw him in a cage the best that I could

And I know he's still there

But I'm no longer scared

Of the werewolf

Werewolf

And I've square danced with demons and they've stepped on my feet

And I ain't up here saying I've made peace with the beast

But I threw him in a cage the best that I could

And I like knowing he's there

That I'm no longer scared

Of the werewolf

Werewolf
