Uncle Tupelo Follow

This song is sung for anyone that's listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
Through the strain of a slow, sad end

Seems everybody wants what someone else has
There's sorrow enough for all, just go in any bar and ask
With a beer in each hand, and a smile in between
While all around's a world grown mean

We've all had our ups and downs
It's been mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear

Looks like we're all lookin' for a life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we're all lookin' for a life worth livin'
That's why we pray for our souls to keep

There's nothing left now but broken pieces
Of one man's broken will to care
But in the end, before all's said and done
How many others might follow him there?

This song is sung for anyone that's listening
This song is for the broken-spirited man
This song is for anyone left standing
Through the strain of a slow, sad end

Midnight is comin' round
It's still mostly down around here
Now this whole damn mess is becoming quite clear

Looks like we're all lookin' for a life worth livin'
That's why we drink ourselves to sleep
Yeah, we're all lookin' for a life worth livin'
That's why we pray for our souls to keep
