I thought I had driven

You out of my mind,

When I crossed that bridge on memory lane and burned it one last time.

I told myself it's over

And I'm finally free,

But just when I thought I had burried your memory,

It shows up just like a bad penny.



(Chorus)



An old memory found it's way back home again

Old feelings that I thought I'd lost

have found their way back in.

Like an old dog that you drop off

just out side of town,

Uninvited coming back anyhow

An old memory found it's way back home again.



I swept every room when I cleaned house

tore up your old love letters

And threw all of your pictures out.

But I can't throw away what I can't see

I guess I fooled myself into believing

Forgetting you was gonna be easy.



(Chorus)



Why can't I keep your memory away

it's like a fire I can't put out

A cold that I can't shake.



(Chorus)



Yeah an old memory found it's way back home again.
