LONE WOLF
Johnny Winter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a lone wolf and I howl from town to town
I'm gonna huff and I'll puff until I blow your little house down
(Yes I will!)
I'm a lone wolf, don't do no running with the pack...
I'm a lone wolf, don't do no running with the pack...
I'm a big bad wolf, I'll pull the wool right off your back
When the moon comes up, I'll come a snifin' around your door
When the moon comes up, I'll come a snifin' around your door
I'll howl all night, leavin' you beggin' for more, more, more!
Yeah!
(Instrumental)
I'm a lone wolf and I howl from town to town
I'm a lone wolf and I howl from town to town
I'm gonna huff and a-puff until I blow your little house down.
I'm a lone wolf!
I'm a lone wolf!
I'm a lone wolf!
I'm a lone wolf!
I'm gonna huff and I'll puff until I blow your little house down....Oww!
The lyrics to Johnny Winter's "Lone Wolf" suggest that the singer is a wild and untamed individual, a "lone wolf" who doesn't run with the pack. The comparison to a wolf suggests that the singer is predatory, with a powerful and aggressive personality. The repeated reference to "huffing and puffing" reinforces this image of a powerful, unstoppable force, and the line "I'll pull the wool right off your back" suggests that the singer is dangerous and cunning.
The chorus is particularly effective in conveying the singer's wild spirit: "I'm a lone wolf and I howl from town to town/I'm gonna huff and I'll puff until I blow your little house down." The reference to the "little house" suggests that the singer is a threat to ordinary people, and that his power can be destructive. However, there is also something exhilarating about the singer's freedom and energy, particularly in the way that he suggests he will leave his listeners "begging for more."
Overall, the lyrics to "Lone Wolf" suggest a powerful and dangerous individual, a figure who is both feared and admired. The "lone wolf" image suggests freedom and self-sufficiency, but also a certain isolation and danger.
