Devil in My Rearview

Keep checkin’ that mirror like somethin’s there Not cops, not lights… just a stare Road’s wide open, not a soul around Still feels like I’m bein’ tracked down

Got a shadow ridin’ just behind Same damn shape, don’t matter the time I speed up some, it don’t fall back Just sits right there in the black

I told myself it’s all in my head But it shows up everywhere I’ve been

Devil in my rearview, won’t let go Every mile I put, it stays close I don’t see horns, I don’t see flame Just everything I couldn’t change

Devil in my rearview, ridin’ me down Follows me outta every town I can run, I can drive all night But it’s still right there in the light

Stopped for gas, didn’t cut the car Didn’t wanna face where we are Looked up once in the glass by the pump Swore I saw him — then he was gone

Could’ve been nothin’, could’ve been me Could’ve been all that I won’t see Pulled back out, didn’t look twice Some things you don’t check if you like your life

I keep sayin’ it’ll fade with time But it rides that line behind

Devil in my rearview, won’t let go Every mile I put, it stays close I don’t see horns, I don’t see flame Just everything I couldn’t change

Devil in my rearview, ridin’ me down Follows me outta every town I can run, I can drive all night But it’s still right there in the light

Ain’t wearin’ red, ain’t got a name Looks like me… just without the shame Every turn, every road I choose He don’t win… but he don’t lose

I don’t stop ‘cause I know damn well If I kill the engine, he might as well Be sittin’ there in the passenger side Waitin’ quiet… for the ride

Devil in my rearview, clear as day Closer now than he’s ever been Ain’t no outrun, ain’t no end Just me, this road… and him again

Devil in my rearview, still in sight Even when I kill the lights I can drive ‘til the wheels give out But I know what this run’s about
