[Verse]
I was born on a rainy day
With a dark cloud hanging down low
Now it follows me wherever I go
There were days I've sworn that I'd blow away
With the cold wind chilling my bones
'Cause it follows me wherever I go

[Verse]
In the midnight hour when I'm all alone
There's a hurting deep down in my soul
And it follows me wherever I go
When the sun shines down on my heart, it's gone
There's another night coming, I know
'Cause it follows me wherever I go

[Verse]
I could drink corn whiskey till my brain goes soft
I could run this highway till my wheels come off
And these blues keep coming around and follow me down
Well one of these days I'm going to leave this town
But I won't have to travel alone
'Cause if follows me wherever I go

[Verse]
I could drink corn whiskey till my brain goes soft
I could run this highway till my wheels come off
And these blues keep coming around and follow me down
I want to go somewhere where I can't be found
And I won't have to carry this load
But it follows me wherever I go
