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
look what followed me home
i thought i was alone
but your memory is 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
i walked down to the river at the break of dawn
with a picture of you darling up underneath my arm
i said the heartache's over today is your last day
and i thank that muddy river as it carried you away
look what followed me home
i thought i was alone
but your memory is comin' back to me
i thought i'd left it behind
and 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 followed me home
