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 back road,

And left it 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 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 heartaches over,

Today is your last day.

And I thanked that muddy river,

As it carried you away.



But look what followed me home,

I thought I was alone.

But your memory,

It's coming back to me.

I thought I left it behind,

Got you off my mind.

But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong,

Look what followed me home.

Yeah I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong,

Look what follwed me home.
