A E A,         A
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.

But look what followed me home, I thought I was alone.
                                     E
But your memory, it's comin' back to me
                        A     D                  A
I thought I'd left it behind, and got you off my mind.
                               E                            A
But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong, look what followed me home.

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.

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