Followed Her Around

In the style of
Jimmy Rankin
I followed her around
Well I was quite naz'fve
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 in to 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
makin' 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
lwatched 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 criedz No,
child no.
Son get your feet

back on the ground
Don't go follow her around
Instrumental
Break
15 seconds

2!
And 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

Well I swore I heard him say
Dad, I'm headin' in to town
I think he follows her around.
Dad, I'm headin' in to town
I think he follows her around
Dad, I'm rollin'
in to town

I think he follows
her around.
