The words

Lyrics

Intro

Everywhere you go Every turn you take Every move you make Every lane you change I'll be right behind you

Verse 1

Friday afternoon Dispatch drops a call Grandma's feeling dizzy Nearly took a fall Family's gathered round her Everybody looking blue We load her on the stretcher And they say "we'll follow you"

Pre-Chorus

I pull out of the driveway Check the mirror just in time There's a silver minivan Right behind mine

Chorus

I'll be right behind you Through every mile you drive Every turn you take tonight I'll be right behind You can run the sirens You can cross the county line Wherever this road takes you I'll be right behind

Verse 2

Changed lanes near the highway They changed lanes too Took the bypass downtown Guess what they did too Forty minutes later Still sitting in my view At this point I'm pretty sure They're part of the crew

Pre-Chorus

Every exit that I pass Every light that's turning green That minivan's committed To this ambulance dream

Chorus 2

I'll be right behind you Through every mile you drive Every turn you take tonight I'll be right behind You can run the sirens You can cross the county line Wherever this road takes you I'll be right behind

Bridge

Oh can't you see I've got one question on my mind Oh can't you see Something here just isn't right No oxygen No CPR No flashing lights tonight If you followed us this whole damn way Why didn't you drive?

Chorus 3

I'll be right behind you That's what they always say Right up to the ambulance bay At the end of the day You made it to the hospital Without a single issue in sight So tell me one more time again Why I gave Grandma a ride I'll be right behind you I'll be right behind

Outro

Grandma waves From room three Family signs the visitor sheet And somewhere deep inside my soul I know they'll do it again next week I'll be right behind you Every mile you drive I'll be right behind you Every turn tonight I'll be right behind you Until the end of the ride

About this song

There are plenty of good reasons to call an ambulance.

There are also calls where, somewhere during the ride to the hospital, a paramedic checks the mirror and begins asking questions.

Because directly behind the ambulance is the patient's family.

In their car.

Following you.

The entire way.

Every turn.

Every lane change.

Every exit.

Thirty or forty minutes later, they're still back there.

And on the right kind of low-acuity call, one question slowly becomes impossible to ignore:

If you were going to drive all the way to the hospital anyway... why didn't you drive?

That's the family in “Right Behind You.”

They've called 911.

EMS has assessed the patient, loaded the stretcher and started toward the hospital.

And the family has faithfully joined the convoy.

No matter where the ambulance goes, that car remains in the mirror like a deeply committed backup unit nobody requested.

Sometimes the best part comes after arrival.

You finish the trip, wheel the patient inside, and discover that the family has already parked, walked into the emergency department, signed in and is patiently waiting.

They made excellent time.

Which somehow raises even more questions.

The soft-rock treatment turns the whole thing into a strangely sincere declaration of devotion.

Wherever you go...

Whatever road you take...

Whatever hospital you choose...

That silver minivan will be right behind you.

It's not really a love song.

But it may be the most committed relationship an ambulance has ever had.
