I Won't Be Following You

(album: Longhorns & Londonbridges - 1974)

Darling, you can go anywhere
You can leave me behind
Any time that you find someone
To take you there

You can run to the edge of town
But you won't have to keep looking around
Because I won't be following you
No I won't, I won't follow you

This time I'm not the same man
Who'd be hot on your tracks
Trying to drag you back
Trying to change your plans

You can go where you gotta go
But if you're going wrong
I don't wanna know
Because I won't be following you
No I won't, I won't follow you

The minute you leave
I go to the window
And hold you in my sight
Till you're hidden by the night
Where do you go?

Someday you're gonna look for me
And remember the days
And the too many ways
That I let you be

That's the time that you'll understand
But when you look for me
And reach for my hand
I won't be following you
No I won't be following you
