To put you in my past, and get you off my mind.
So I took your mem'ry, on a midnight ride.
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.
(verso 2)
Well, I walked down to the river, at the break of dawn,
With a picture of you darlin', up underneath my arm.
I said the heartache's over, today is your last day,
And I thanked that muddy river, as it carried you away.
(refrão)
Yeah! I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Look what followed me home.
