Wherever I Go - Steve Earle

Well 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

Because it follows me wherever I go

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

But there’s another night coming I know

Because it follows me wherever I go

I could drink corn whisky until my brain goes soft

I could run this highway until 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

Because if follows me wherever I go

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
