Radio Paradise (mobile)

Through the chill of winter
Running across the frozen lake
Hunters are out on his trail
All odds are against him
With a family to provide for
The one thing he must keep alive
Will the wolf survive

Drifting by the roadside
Climbs each storm and aging face
Wants to make some morning's fate
Losing to the range war
He's got two strong legs to guide him
Two strong arms keep him alive
Will the wolf survive

Standing in the pouring rain
All alone in a world that's changed
Running scared, now forced to hide
In a land where he once stood with pride
But he'll find his way by the morning light

Sounds across the nation
Coming from your hearts and minds
Battered drums and old guitars
Singing songs of passion
It's the truth that they all look for
The one thing they must keep alive
Will the wolf survive
Will the wolf survive

Umberdog Mar 11, 2012 - 15:27	I hate comparing human traits to non-human activities (and visa versa), so one (1) star. This song is definitely "Suck-o barfo." (personal opinion) [ Reply ]

Thanks for posting the lyrics, though - this song is more metaphorical than literal. Still, I like to think it parallels the plight of the literal wolf of today - in danger of extinction because of mankind's uncaring attitude about anything but wealth and power. Whatever the case, I just love the heck out of it. [ Reply ]

GuiltyFeat Jan 26, 2011 - 06:56	This does nothing for me either, I'm afraid. Unmelodic faux-jangle blandness. Meh squared. [ Reply ]

Cynaera Nov 08, 2010 - 13:31	Something about this song just makes me want to live another day, even when stuff happens to make me want to give up and die. I must have a little bit of wolf in me, because no matter what happens, I can't surrender my life - I just dig my heels in and fight. And that's all I'm sayin' about it - except that this song by Los Lobos is one of the few songs that can rally me up and make me remember why I'm alive. You got a problem with that? [ Reply ]

This is the perfect song for driving across the vast Nevada desert in the dead of summer with all the windows down. [ Reply ]

Cynaera Aug 20, 2010 - 20:05	Cranking this loud, and to hell with the neighbors. My all-time favorite song by Los Lobos (and I love most of their stuff, so this says a lot.) Shutting up - gotta listen now. [ Reply ]
frecko Aug 05, 2010 - 01:08	I think they make it, becuase we "import" wolves from Finland and Russia to replace the ones we killed...Logic in a swedish way... Bodhisattva wrote: So the wolf doesn't survive then.... [ Reply ]
