Follow Me

Written in the Spring of 2008

This was a fun little light hearted song that we thought would so fit Jeff's dad, Wilson Birdwell.... and it does! It hasn't gotten into our regular set list line up yet as we are still working out the harmonies and the echo parts, but it's a fun song and has a neat little story.

It's about a rambling man who just is searching west, north and south for his place, but in the end, his old woman knows JUST where he needs to be.... home with her!

My Grandpa said to my Grandma
Why don’t you follow me?
We’ll go out to the westlands and see what we can see
We’ll make a little homestead, and start a family
All it takes is trust and love, why don’t you follow me?

Follow me...... Follow me......
all it takes is trust and love, why don’t you follow me?

My grandpa said to my Grandma.....
Why don’t you follow me?
We’ll go up to the Northlands.... as free as we can be
We’ll hunt and fish and pan for gold, we’ll live so simply
All it takes is trust and love, why don’t you follow me?

My grandpa said to my grandma....
Why don’t you follow me?
We’ll go down to the Southlands, we’ll live beside the sea
We’ll start a little business, so happy there we’ll be
All it takes is trust and love, why don’t you follow me?

My grandma said to my grandpa,
Why don’t you settle down?
Why must we ramble here and there, Let’s live in our hometown
I’m staying here to make a home So happy here I’ll be
All it take is trust and love, why don’t you stay with me?

Stay with me...... (follow me) Stay with me...... (follow me)
All it takes is trust and love, why don’t you follow with me?
