I thought I had driven 
You out of my mind, 
When I crossed that bridge on memory lane and burned it one last time. 
I told myself it's over 
And I'm finally free, 
But just when I thought I had burried your memory, 
It shows up just like a bad penny. 

(Chorus)

An old memory found it's way back home again 
Old feelings that I thought I'd lost 
have found their way back in. 
Like an old dog that you drop off 
just out side of town, 
Uninvited coming back anyhow 
An old memory found it's way back home again. 

I swept every room when I cleaned house 
tore up your old love letters 
And threw all of your pictures out. 
But I can't throw away what I can't see 
I guess I fooled myself into believing 
Forgetting you was gonna be easy. 

(Chorus)

Why can't I keep your memory away 
it's like a fire I can't put out 
A cold that I can't shake. 

(Chorus)

Yeah an old memory found it's way back home again.
