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...
(Chorus) 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 thanked that muddy water as it carried you away
(Repeat chorus)
Yeah I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong Look what followed me home
