             C                                                                                 
I was quite na•ve  
              F                                                                                                                          
Holes in my  soul
                          C
I wore my heart upon my  sleeve
                         F
Down a winding country  road
                              Am
Despite the stories I'd been  told
                     F
Now I don't go into town  
                      C
Since I followed her around   Still I 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? 
Oh the boys are making time
I  bowed my head without a sound 
Since I followed her around                          G
Everybody's got a hunger 
        F                   C
And a seed they've got to  sow
                               G
I should have listened to my  mother
                 F    Am  D
When she cried no child  no
                                   F
Son get your feet back on the  ground
                         C
Don't go follow her around       I watched her from afar
The pretty flower it did  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   CHORUS   SOLO   F/Am/G/G
F/Am/G/G      N/C
Now I'm old and wise
Still got that  sparkle in my eyes
And 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 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 heading in to town 
I think he  follows her around
