Behind You - Lyrics - Caravan

'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
