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
