John Mellencamp Right Behind Me song lyrics

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
