Well, I made my plans
To leave you far behind
To put you in my past
And get you off my mindSo, I took your memory
On a midnight ride
Down a dark and lonely back road
And left you there to dieBut 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 homeWell, I walked down to the river
At the break of dawn
With a picture of you, darlin'
Up underneath my armI said, the heartache's over
Today is your last day
And I thanked that muddy river
As it carried you awayLook 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
Had you off my mind
But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Look what followed me homeYeah, I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Look what followed me home
