Behind You

Twas 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'd need

So I kept going back there for more

Look out behind you, all right

If you don't leave it alone

He's gonna hound you all night

Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home

There could be no way I was going to 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 the cat and the mouse we would play

Look out behind you, all right

If you don't leave it alone

He's gonna hound you all night

Said slow down boy and they'll carry you home

It was late that night when he came inside

I could see through the glass by the door

For his key had stuck and I praised my luck

As I dived from the bed to the floor

When I heard him yell like a bat from hell

I was out enough down the road

Twas with no surprise I could feel his eyes

And imagine the gun that he'd load

Right up behind me all right

Cos I couldn't leave it alone

He will hound me all night

Said, slow down boy and they'll carry you home
