She always follows me from town to town at least her mem’ries follow me around
Whenever I clear my mind so she can see I feel her love come rushing into me
I know that I will never be the law looks as though her memory’s bound to haunt
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always follow me around
Follow me around follow me around follow me around follow me around
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around

Follow me around follow me around…
With her memory always following me around
