Follow Through

from Road To Wilderness by Britt Kusserow

about

Before I headed to New Orleans I had lots of expectations about what it would be like. All of them were wrong.

lyrics

Call me the bee charmer from Indiana,
just an idea running through my dreams.
Running south to Louisiana,
when you run away, you run toward something else, it seems.
Barefoot in the bayou, I'll turn twenty-one
and buy you anything you please.

Maybe I'll follow through.
Maybe I'll follow through this time.
Maybe I'll follow.

I'm finding out my chains are only
just as strong as I let them be.
And I make lots of plans, that fall
like water through my hands before I leave.
But somehow this is different,
after twenty years I'm falling to my knees.

Maybe I'll follow through.
Maybe I'll follow through this time.
Maybe I'll follow.

Don't look back, we're not going there.
Why do I have to say, 'you could come with me'?
No one has to know. No one has to know.

Call you the one who almost got away,
the one I stung when I turned around.
I'm sorry it took a faceful of dirt
for me to see my feet had left the ground.
But no matter what people say,
you know they'll all be wondering what we've found.

So maybe we'll follow through.
Baby, let's follow through this time.
God knows we'll follow.
