Well, I made my plans To leave you far behind To put you in my past And get you off my mind So, I took your memory On a midnight ride Down a dark and lonely backroad And left you there to die
But look what followed me home I thought I was alone But your memory It’s coming back to me I thought I’d left it behind And had you off my mind But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong Look what followed me home
Well, I walked down to the river At the break of dawn With a picture of you, darlin’ Up underneath my arm I said, the heartache’s over Today is your last day Then, I thanked that muddy river As it carried you away
Look what followed me home I thought I was alone But your memory It’s coming back to me I thought I’d left it behind And had you off my mind But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong Look what followed me home
Yea, I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong Look what followed me home
