Supertones - I Will Follow lyrics

rate me

Back in junior high, well, I was a bit wild<br />

Pretty safe to say that I was a troubled child<br />

Didn't go to Juvie but they had me on file<br />

Drinking like a man, but thinking like a child<br />

<br />

You wouldn't want to know me, man I was a hooligan<br />

It was the only crowd who would ever take me in<br />

Cared about nothing- that's the loser's way to win<br />

I hit the ninth grade and something happened then<br />

<br />

And it was a sacrifice <br />

(whoa-oa-oa)<br />

There are those who give their lives<br />

<br />

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know<br />

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

I will follow.<br />

<br />

I came to know my God first year of high school<br />

Not a smart move if you're trying to be cool<br />

They knew me as a druggie who wouldn't follow rules<br />

My friends didn't get it and they thought I was a fool<br />

<br />

They called me self-righteous 'cause I wouldn't smoke pot<br />

And now I didn't wanna split a bottle of Schnapps<br />

Plus I didn't wanna go running from the cops<br />

And that's how I lost all the friends I got.<br />

<br />

And it was a sacrifice <br />

(whoa-oa-oa)<br />

There are those who give their lives<br />

<br />

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know<br />

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

I will follow.<br />

<br />

So everyone I knew just thought I was a freak<br />

I wasn't hard to tell that they didn't want to speak<br />

I used to be cool, but now I was a geek<br />

Like drugs are for the strong and God is for the weak<br />

<br />

Everything I have, well, I gave it to the cross<br />

I count it as trash, I don't hesitate to toss<br />

What I held dear was a burden to be lost <br />

To get to the gold you've got to burn up the dross<br />

<br />

And it was a sacrifice <br />

(whoa-oa-oa)<br />

There are those who give their lives<br />

<br />

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know<br />

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

Even if it's only me that goes<br />

I will follow.
