Well I was born on a rainy day

With a dark cloud hangin' down low

Now it follows me wherever I go

There were days I've sworn that I'd blow away

With the cold wind chillin' my bones

'Cause it follows me wherever I go



In the midnight hour when I'm all alone

There's a hurtin' deep down in my soul

And it follows me wherever I go

When the sun shines down on my heart it's gone

But there's another night comin' I know

'Cause it follows me wherever I go



chorus

I could drink corn whisky 'til my brain goes soft

I could run this highway 'til my wheels come off

And these blues keep comin' around

And follow me down



Well one of these days I'm gonna leave this town

But I won't have to travel alone

'Cause if follows me wherever I go



chorus



I wanna go somewhere where I can't be found

And I won't have to carry this load

But it follows me wherever I go
