Behind You Lyrics by Caravan

Better by Far

1977

'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
'Cause I couldn't leave it alone
He will hound me all night
Said, slow down boy and they'll carry you home
