I Will Follow lyrics

Back in junior high, well, I was a bit wild Pretty safe to say that I was a troubled child Didn't go to Juvie but they had me on file Drinking like a man, but thinking like a child You wouldn't want to know me, man I was a hooligan It was the only crowd who would ever take me in Cared about nothing- that's the loser's way to win I hit the ninth grade and something happened then And it was a sacrifice (whoa-oa-oa) There are those who give their lives Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes I will follow. I came to know my God first year of high school Not a smart move if you're trying to be cool They knew me as a druggie who wouldn't follow rules My friends didn't get it and they thought I was a fool They called me self-righteous 'cause I wouldn't smoke pot And now I didn't wanna split a bottle of Schnapps Plus I didn't wanna go running from the cops And that's how I lost all the friends I got. And it was a sacrifice (whoa-oa-oa) There are those who give their lives Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes I will follow. So everyone I knew just thought I was a freak I wasn't hard to tell that they didn't want to speak I used to be cool, but now I was a geek Like drugs are for the strong and God is for the weak Everything I have, well, I gave it to the cross I count it as trash, I don't hesitate to toss What I held dear was a burden to be lost To get to the gold you've got to burn up the dross And it was a sacrifice (whoa-oa-oa) There are those who give their lives Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes Even if it's only me that goes
