Right Behind Me - John Mellencamp

This time I’m leavin'

And I ain’t-a kiddin'

Walkin out the door

For evermore

You see the devil

He’s right behind me

Whistling in my ear

It’s time to go

You know the devil

He thinks he’s got me

But he ain’t got me

No

Goin' to get my baby

She in Chicago

Wrapped up with some stranger

Every afternoon

She says I don’t care

Nothin' about her

But I gotsta 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 livin'

Just a resting place

Before it’s time to go

You see the devil

He thinks he’s got me

But he ain’t got me

No

You see the devil

He thinks he’s got me

But he ain’t got me

No

No, no, no, no, no

This time I’m leavin'

I ain’t a-kiddin'
