I go where the crowd is big and loud and I sit at the bar all alone And I drink to myself till there's nobody left then sadness follows me home Though she hurt me a lot I deserve what I got And sadness follows me home [ steel ] I'd rather be just anyone but me no one else ever felt so alone Cause each face is a ghost I'm alone and I'm lost and sadness follows me home All that's waiting is gloom in those five shabby rooms Cause sadness follows me home
