Story Behind The Song
A friend sent me a drum beat to write a song and I came up with Behind Me

Lyrics
Verse 1
Feet fly, heels behind me, like a child
Arms pump like pistons gone wild, w-i-l-d.
Legs spring like steel machines.
I run. I flee, 'til you can't see me, you can't see me.

CHORUS 1
Light and quick I hear your feet
Tap tap tap down my street
In the shadows behind me, behind me.

Verse 2
I reach my stairs, leap into air
Open my door: look everywhere, every where.
Slam it shut then lock the bolt.
Breathe in and out, then feel a jolt, feel a jolt.
4 ct. CHORUS 2
Light and quick I hear your feet
Tap tap tap down my street
In the shadows behind me, behind me.
Tap, tap, tap I hear no fear
Light and quick I hear your feet
Tap, tap, tap, down my street, behind me, behind me.
Music break 4 barres
Bridge
Out the window, down the lane,
leave behind that crazy pain.
I'm the one who needs to win
Outrun all the trouble you been
Leave your green eyed monster behind me, behind me.
Music break 4 barres CHORUS 3
Light and quick I hear your feet
Tap tap tap at my doorstep
Pause to take a needed breath
Tap, tap, tap I hear no fear
Light and quick I hear your feet
Tap, tap, tap down my street.
Tap (pause) tap : I won't miss a beat.
