Backstory:

One song that had a lasting impression on me from my youth, was an Elvis song called 'In The Ghetto' written by Mac Davis. It's very sad society hasn't done enough to help young people rise from the destitute lives many were born into. So many still fall through the cracks. 
A 35 year long study by the Cambridge University's Institute of Criminology found that if children had a convicted parent by the time they were 10 that was the "best predictor" of them becoming criminal and anti-social themselves and that, 'Crime really does run in the family'.
Thank you for listening.

Lone Wolf Howl

The minute I was born seems like I been
Running, dodging 'n breaking the law
Right behind my brother in prison
By ten kicked out of the house by Pa
Sleeping off days hunger chewed my bones
Robbing after dark out on the prowl
Wild young stray no pack no home
There's a sad story in a lone wolf howl

Lone wolf howl
Lone wolf howl
In a midnight sky
On a moonless night
It’s a haunting sound
Lone wolf howl

The Lawman told me to turn around now
Face the wall put my hands on my head
He said it again but I weren’t a coward
Took a big step toward him instead
Lawman raised the barrel some higher
I heard the screech of a mad barn owl
Knew then I faced my final hour
There's a brave story in a lone wolf howl

Lone wolf howl
Lone wolf howl
In a midnight sky
On a moonless night
It’s a haunting sound
Lone wolf howl

First slug I took in the left shoulder
Sang curses like my pa right then
Next lead slid on between my ribcage
Flash to my brother Paul dead in the pen
Lawman why you shooting low ‘n dirty
Sorry Ma, God can’t save me now
Blood soakin' through the holes in my bluejeans
End of a story in a lone wolf howl

Lone wolf howl
Lone wolf howl
In a midnight sky
On a moonless night
It’s a haunting sound
Lone wolf howl

And Pa cracked open a cold one for me
And Ma cried out a prayer and a scream
And Angels sang hallelujah real sweet
And I’m howling, howling
Howling with the pack now wild ‘n free
Lone wolf howl
