Lyrics
The road out of Tulsa
was dusty and dirty
she was California bound
with a Rock and Roll Heart
that just turned thirty
and an Oklahoma sound
Singing her songs
and telling her story
somewhat sad and somewhat blue
with the words that alway broke the hearts
of every love she ever knew
They follow her down, down
down to the early morning
they follow her down, down,
down through the dark of night
they follow her down, down,
her music keeps on calling
calling them down, down,
with her sad sweet lullaby.
The road it took her down to Austin
it was meant to be it seems.
I was living in an old hotel
with my songs and broken dreams.
I heard her singing her songs and telling her story
In a Sixth Street bar one night
her sweet voice touched my heart and soul
her sad songs changed my life
I follow her down, down,
down to the early morning.
I follow her down, down
down through the dark of night.
I follow her down, down,
her songs they keep on calling
calling me down, down
with her sad sweet lullaby.
Surely there must be an explanation
A reason why her sad song
seems to always hypnotize.
The road out of Austin
was dry and hot
I was California bound
with a Rock and Roll Heart
that keeps on beating
to that Oklahoma sound
Singing my songs and telling my story
Somewhat sad and somewhat blue
with the words that always break my heart
and this song I sing for you.
I follow her down, down,
down to the early morning.
I follow her down, down
down through the dark of night.
I follow her down, down,
her songs they keep on calling
calling me down, down
with her sad sweet lullaby.
