Intro

2x

Well you can dig me up a grave

And try and stick me in the ground

Well you can tie me to the bed

 And try and beat me half to death

But you can never keep me down

 Well you can stick me in a hole

 And you can pray all day for rain

You can shoot me in the leg

Just to try to make me beg

 And you can leave me there for days

Chorus

And I'll stay alive

 Just to follow you home

And I will survive

 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess

 You're my California Queen

 Like the Duchess of Detroit

 And every city in between

 You can slap me in the face

 You can scream profanity

 Leave me here to die alone but

I'll still follow you home

I'll still follow you home

You can make a couple calls

And tell your brothers I'm in town

Put a bounty on my head

And tell my parents that I'm dead

And hope to hell I'm never found

You can steal me the keys

To your daddy's Cadillac

You can tamper with the brakes

Call it a mistake

And pray I'm never coming back

Chorus

Interlude

You can dig me up a grave

And try and stick me in the ground

You can tie me to the bed

And try and beat me half to death

But you can never keep me down

And I will survive

'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess

You're my California Queen

Like the Duchess of Detroit

And every city in between

You can slap me in the face

You can scream profanity

Leave me here to die alone but

I'll still follow you home

I'll still follow you home
