I Followed You

This song was inspired by John Lennon and much of it is directed at my father.

I followed you and nearly lost my shoes
You never looked back to see me standing there
So I turned away and conceded on that day
I would spend my life
living the blues

I followed you and nearly lost my mind
you never looked back and treated me unkind
So I went astray and made sure I stayed that way
I would spend my life
singing your blues

[Chorus:]
I tried to make sense of it but I’m all alone
no one to turn to when things turn out wrong
I tried to tell you and you didn’t hear a word
whose to say what’s right or wrong if nothing’s ever heard?

I followed you and nearly lost my life
you never looked back and didn’t see the knife
So I went filet cause I couldn’t get away
I would spend my life
ducking the blues

I followed you and nearly lost my nerve
you never looked back on my choice to serve
So I jumped into the fray and knew that very day
I would spend my life
saluting the blues

I followed you and nearly lost my voice
you never looked back and silence was the choice
So I rue the day Chapman pissed it all away
I would spend my life
consulting the blues

[Chorus:]
I tried to make sense of it but I’m all alone
no one to turn to when things turn out wrong
I tried to tell you and you didn’t hear a word
whose to say what’s right or wrong if nothing’s ever heard?

I followed you and nearly lost my shoes
You never looked back to see me standing there
So I turned away and conceded on that day
I would spend my life
living the blues
