Behind You Songtext
von Caravan

Was with no surprise, I could feel his eyes
A-comin′ straight through the back of my head
So I took my flight by the pale moonlight
No instinct to guide me, I fled
"If I catch you still with my wife, I'll kill you, boy"
That′s what he told me before
I didn't pay no heed 'cause she said I need
So I kept going back there for more

Look out behind you, alright
If you don′t leave it alone
He′s gonna hound you all night
Don't you slow down, boy
Or they′ll carry you home


I could see no way I was gonna stay
With a man like that on my heel
He was six-foot-four and could eat a door
And his fists were like great blocks of steel
But his wife was rude and it seemed so good
To have fun while he was away
While he lived in hope of the sale of soap
Like a cat in the mouse we would play

Look out behind you, alright
If you don't leave it alone
He′s gonna hound you all night
Don't you slow down, boy
Or they′ll carry you home

It was late that night when he came inside
I could see through the glass panel door
For his key had stuck and I praised my luck
'Cause I died from the bed to the floor
When I heard him yell like a bat from hell
I was out and off down the road
Was with no surprise, I could feel his eyes
And imagine the gun that he'd load

I looked behind me, alright
′Cause I couldn′t leave it alone
He tried to hound me all night
Said, "Slow down, boy
And they'll carry you home"
