Right Behind Me
This town I'm leaving, I ain't kidding
Walking out the door, forever more
See the devil, he's right behind me
Whistling in my ear, it's time to go
You know the devil, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no
Gonna get my baby, she in Chicago
That double certain stranger every afternoon
She said I don't care, nothing about her
But I got to tell her, I still do
You know the devil, he thinks he's got her
But he ain't got her, no
I know Jesus, and I know the devil
They're both inside of me all the time
This ain't no picnic that I'm living
Just a resting place before it's time to go
You see the devil, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no
You see the devil, well, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no, no, no, no
This time I'm leaving, I ain't kidding
Walking out the door, forever more
See the devil, he's right behind me
Whistling in my ear, it's time to go
You know the devil, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no
Gonna get my baby, she in Chicago
That double certain stranger every afternoon
She said I don't care, nothing about her
But I got to tell her, I still do
You know the devil, he thinks he's got her
But he ain't got her, no
I know Jesus, and I know the devil
They're both inside of me all the time
This ain't no picnic that I'm living
Just a resting place before it's time to go
You see the devil, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no
You see the devil, well, he thinks he got me
He ain't got me, no, no, no, no
This time I'm leaving, I ain't kidding
