Song - Followed Her Around
Intro:
I followed her around,
I was quite naive.
Holes in my soul,
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
Down that winding country road,
Despite the stories I'd been told.
Now I don't go into town,
Since I followed her around.
I stood and watched in disbelief,
From the shadows of my grief.
She wore lipstick black as coal,
And her boots up to her knees.
How could I even speak my mind,
All the boys were making time.
I bowed my head without a sound,
Since I followed her around.
Everybody's got a hunger,
And a seed they gotta sow.
I should have listened to my mother,
When she cried 'no, child no.
Son get your feet back on the ground,
Don't go follow her around'.
I watched her from afar,
That pretty flower in mid bloom.
Oh how that girl could work a bar,
As she waltzed around the room.
I couldn't take it anymore,
Tried to get her out the door.
One more time she shot me down,
Since I followed her around.
Everybody's got a hunger,
And a seed they gotta sow.
I should have listened to my mother,
When she cried 'no, child no.
Son get your feet back on the ground,
Don't go follow her around'.
Now I'm old and wise,
Still got that sparkle in my eyes.
All my kids have come and gone,
All except my youngest son.
It was just the other day,
I swore I heard him say:
Dad I'm heading in to town...
I think he follows her around.
Dad I'm heading in to town...
I think he follows her around.
Dad I'm rolling in to town...
I think he follows her around.
