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 Ive sworn that Id blow away
With the cold wind chillin my bones
cause it follows me wherever I go
In the midnight hour when Im all alone
Theres a hurtin deep down in my soul
And it follows me wherever I go
When the sun shines down on my heart its gone
But theres 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 Im gonna leave this town
But I wont have to travel alone
cause if follows me wherever I go
Chorus
I wanna go somewhere where I cant be found
And I wont have to carry this load
But it follows me wherever I go
