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 long back road and left it there to die
But

Look what followed me home
I thought I was here all 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 thanked that muddy water as it carried you away

Look what followed me home
I thought I was here all 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

Yeah, I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Look what followed me home
