Jimmy Rankin - Followed Her Around lyrics

I followed her around I was quite naïve 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 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
