The wolves were howlin' at the full moon rollin' by
road side gas station last one for 50 miles
sittin' on the front porch with a shotgun by his side
an immigrant man his mail-order bride
there's a murder on sunny divide
This place was built way back in 1929
little sign outside of town says population 5
somethin' evil happened here you can bet your weary soul
he's got blood on his hands evil in his eyes
there's a murder on sunny divide
Someone go and get the sheriff
tell him the old man's got a gun
he get's like this when he's drinkin' for god's sake
he's gonna kill someone he's gonna kill someone

The next day they found the bodies at the bottom of the ridge
looks like he killed his wife then blew off his head
what the wolves leave behind the buzzards gonna get
that's the cold hard facts of life another murder
another suicide on sunny divide
