I Can't Follow You There
You've been my best friend since - I don't even know when.
Together we've seen rainy days and sun.
People say they're seeing double when we start causing trouble.
Up until now I'd say that it was all in fun.
Chorus:
And you know I'd follow you anywhere -
from Zanzibar to Timbuktu.
But now you're asking me
to try these drugs with you.
And I can't follow you there, friend.
I just won't follow you there.
You're heading down a path that I don't want to travel.
I have a better life in view.
And I would hate to watch your future come unraveled.
But I'm not sure what I can do.
Chorus
More and more I see you with your so-called new friends,
heading for a life of crime and fear.
I guess the time has come now for me to say so long, friend.
When you decide to get it straight, you know I'll still be here.
Chorus
I'd follow you just about anywhere -
etc.
