[Adaptation of Follow Me by Uncle Kracker]. . You don't know how He met me. You don't know why you can't turn around my faith in Christ. Long ago, when I went-a fishing one day at sea.
I remember you like it was yesterday. Remember the time you said you'd find me. I remember the songs that you used to play. I hear them still and it reminds me.
Haare, Haare, Haare. . I've been wastin' all my time. And I've been drinkin' all that wine. And I've been drinkin' all that beer. And I've been sheddin' all these tears.
The birds outside my window. Want to drive this stupid song into my head. I wake up in this empty bed alone. I guess it's somethin' that I said. I tried to open up a door between us.
I'm nothing fancy. I'm nothing special that's true. But I know what your thinkin'. Cuz I'm thinkin' that same thing too. Now you'd like everything to go your way.
You made me laugh some. You made me cry some too. You sent me off into a world of pain. And made me someone new. . You made all kinds of promises. But only some came true.
You made me laugh some, you made me cry some too. You sent me off into a world of pain and made me someone new. You made all kinds of promises but only some came true.
I know a cabin down there in Tennessee. Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees. And the Old Perry Foster he got something to say. And you can smell the pigs 'cause they've been cookin' all day.
It still feels good. . You were always there to bring me breakfast in bed. And when I stayed out late you had some powder for my head. I've been a bad man.
Well, you can move it on down the highway. You can turn another page. And when you finally get to the old folk's home. Then you can finally act your age.
Well she was lookin' out the window. An' I was starin' at the door. The dog was sleepin' on the sofa. This place has never been this quiet before. . You can't pretend it never happened.
And youll always have a place at my table. Hey dinners ready come on and eat. Get her done. . This ain't no Memphis soul songs and Motown rhythm and blues.
I'm no stranger to shame, I've got little to blame. You sent for me and so I came. I'll come runnin' when you call my name. 'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame.
Lookin' back on everything and all the things that stay. I can count on memories 'cuz they don't go away. Good times were hard to hold until she came along.
I'm sending this letter, I'll mail it today. There's so many things I've been wanting to say. Your mom sent some pictures and my how you've grown. Rock n' roll fathers are never at home.
The days seem so familiar. There's something about the evenings. Even though they change every now and then. . Well, I can be myself here. And I can free myself here.
I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it. . I'll keep it comin' with the ooh. I'll keep it comin' with the ooh. I'll keep it comin' with the ooh.
Here's to the good life or so they say. All those parties and games that all those people play. They tell me this is the place to be. All these beautiful people and nothin' to see.
Another cigarette, whatever I can get. Everything I had I left behind. Pictures of the past things that never last. But satisfaction is, oh, it's state of mind.
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me. Everything's gonna be alright. I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me. Everything's gonna be alright.
