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
