(1st Verse) Well I made my plans to leave you far behind
E D A
To put you in my past, and get you off my mind.
So I took your mem'ry, on a midnight ride.
E A (STOP)
Down a dark an lonely back road, and left it there to die.
A D A
(Chorus) But look what followed me home, I thought I was alone.

But your memory, it's 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.

(2nd Verse) Well, I walked down to the river, at the break of dawn,
E D A
With a picture of you darlin', up underneath my arm.
I said the heartache's over, today is your last day,
E A
And I thanked that muddy river, as it carried you away.
(Chorus)
D A E (STOP) A
Yeah! I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Look what followed me home.
