Devil In The Rearview

I saw him at the county line

Same coat, same crooked grin

He said, "You really think you're different?"

I said, "Brother, look again"

I didn't stop the car

Didn't roll the window down

Some conversations end better

When nobody sticks around

There's a devil in the rearview

But he's getting mighty small

I don't need to turn around

I don't need to hear him call Let him keep his stories

Let him tell them how he wants

I've got places left to go

And I

ain't going back (ain't going back no more)

He remembers every bad decision

I remember why I made 'em

He counts every bridge I burned

I count the ones I rebuilt (yeah)

We used to share a bedroom

Now he lives somewhere behind me

Funny how you gain perspective

When you quit asking permission

There's a devil in the rearview

But he's getting mighty small

I don't need to turn around

I don't need to hear him call Let him keep his stories

Let him tell them how he wants

I've got places left to go

And I

ain't going back

There's a devil in the rearview

And tonight he's out of sight I've got no need to forgive

him

I've just got a life to live

That's enough of that.
