"Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker. I could post the lyrics if you want - I already know it by heart.

The middle of the song features a short instrumental portion that leaves me playing air guitar to it.

"Wherever me chum Harry Potts is...in Heaven or Hell. I'm hoping he'll be putting in a good word for me when I get there. At least I'll be out of here."

- Diary fragment read by Rick Marshall (played by Spencer Milligan) at the end of the Land of the Lost episode "Follow That Dinosaur"

Italics = background voices sung while the lead singer holds a note (you can hear it if you listen very closely)

Follow Me
by Uncle Kracker

You don't know how you met me, you don't know why
You can't turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when I'm with you, I make you free
And swim through your veins I could piss in the sea
I'm singing, follow me; everything is all right
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear
'Cause as long as no one knows and nobody can care
You're feeling guilty, and I'm well aware
But you don't look ashamed, and baby, I'm not scared
I'm singing, follow me; everything is all right
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Won't give you money, I can't give you the sky
You're better off if you don't ask why
I'm not the reason that you go astray
And we'll be all right if you don't ask me to stay... Follow me; everything is all right...
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

Don't know how you met me, you don't know why
You can't turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when I'm with you, I make you free
And swim through your veins I could piss in the sea
I'm singing, follow me; everything is all right
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm singing, follow me; everything is all right
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm singing, follow me; everything is all right
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me

I hear this song on the the local radio station (WAPE 95.1 Jacksonville) every so often and I bought the CD which features "Follow Me" a couple of days ago.

LF heard it once on the radio and he thought it was sappy.

But that's something to be expected when you hear about N'Suck, the Backdoor Boys, and all those other teeny-bopper icons 24/7.

The name of the album which features "Follow Me" is called Double Wide. It would most likely be found under the pop/rock section at some music stores.

I hear there are two versions of that album - one has the Parental Advisory warning on it and the other is toned down, so I've heard.

You walked all over,
in your blunderstones
In your own road movie,
with your one armed man
Gonna make it to the problem page
Trouble-shoot your life
Gonna make it to the problem page
Need some time and space
Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself

In a low place like home
Low place like home

You talked it over
from your bedroom throne
Making sense of nothing,
with your one armed man,
Read your future in the magazine,
search your stars for clues
Read your future in the magazine,
tells you what to lose
Just to find yourself
I hope you find yourself

In a low place like home
Low place like home

You fall all over,
in your small town heels
Catching hold of nothing,
like your one armed man,
Treat your life like a tragedy,
self-inflict abuse
Treat your life like a tragedy,
precious else to choose
Crucify yourself,
I hope you find yourself

In a low place like home
Low place like home

Sorry, but I still think that sometimes it is nice to take a break from the grind of the axes and harsh reality...I'll keep my soppy forum, thank you very much!
