FOLLOW THE LEADER
(Dottie Rambo)


Don Reno & Red Smiley - 1962
The Whites - 1983



Follow, follow, come on let's follow the leader

Are you standing at the crossroads
Searching, wondering just which way to go
Are chasing around in circles
Tossed by every angry wind that blows
There's a plain and a simple solution, Lord
Just lift your head up follow the sun
Don't look to the left or right
Keep your eyes upon the light
If you ever expect to get to the other side

You got to follow, follow the leader
He's travelled every road and he already knows the way
He's forged every rive, climbed every mountain, Lord
Walked on the water, held back the rolling tide
You got to follow, follow the leader
If you ever expect to get to the other side

(Instrumental Break)

It's so easy to take the wrong road
Many a traveller has gone astray
Caught in a whirlwind along life's highway
Never heeding the signs along the way
There's a roadmap and simple directions
Lord, take some time to help a traveler passing by
There'll be a few hills to climb
Pass with care and take your time
If you ever expect to get to the other side

You got to follow, follow the leader
He's travelled every road and he already knows the way
He's forged every rive, climbed every mountain, Lord
Walked on the water, held back the rolling tide
You got to follow, follow the leader
If you ever expect to get to the other side
You got to follow, follow, follow, follow the leader
