The O.C. Supertones Album: Revenge of The O.C. Supertones Track: I Will Follow
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 juvy 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 crown 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
Chorus 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
Chorus
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
Song Description: 'Salvation is a gift that costs us everything. Not that we buy it, Christ did that, but because you must relinquish what you hold dear in order to recieve it.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
