DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD

words and music Jamie MacKay copyright 1999

his mother drank his father died he saw the booze as a way outside he's reaching for a drink don't follow the crowd an empty place he once called home better drunk than sober alone he's thinking of his pain don't follow the crowd there are voices in your head they say your freedom of choice is dead don't let them lead don't follow the crowd No

there's a way to life but it's through the pain cry out to God it's not in vain when your back's to the wall don't crawl don't follow the crowd don't follow the crowd

she wants to feel secure for awhile could he hold the key to her smile he asks her into his place don't follow the crowd love's a word that clouds your mind she loses her will with him everytime now he's holding her close don't follow the crowd her friends say its all part of the game she wants to call it a night just the same what's a poor girl to do don't follow the crowd No
