The O.C. Supertones - I Will Follow lyrics

rate me

Back in junior high, well, I was a bit wild

Pretty safe to say that I was a troubled child

Didn't go to Juvie but they had me on file

Drinking like a man, but thinking like a child

You wouldn't want to know me, man I was a hooligan

It was the only crowd who would ever take me in

Cared about nothing- that's the loser's way to win

I hit the ninth grade and something happened then

And it was a sacrifice

(whoa-oa-oa)

There are those who give their lives

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

I will follow.

I came to know my God first year of high school

Not a smart move if you're trying to be cool

They knew me as a druggie who wouldn't follow rules

My friends didn't get it and they thought I was a fool

They called me self-righteous 'cause I wouldn't smoke pot

And now I didn't wanna split a bottle of Schnapps

Plus I didn't wanna go running from the cops

And that's how I lost all the friends I got.

And it was a sacrifice

(whoa-oa-oa)

There are those who give their lives

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

I will follow.

So everyone I knew just thought I was a freak

I wasn't hard to tell that they didn't want to speak

I used to be cool, but now I was a geek

Like drugs are for the strong and God is for the weak

Everything I have, well, I gave it to the cross

I count it as trash, I don't hesitate to toss

What I held dear was a burden to be lost

To get to the gold you've got to burn up the dross

And it was a sacrifice

(whoa-oa-oa)

There are those who give their lives

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know

You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

Even if it's only me that goes

I will follow.
