Stand Back

Stand Back - The Allman Brothers band

Written by：Gregg Allman/Raymond Berry Oakley III

I recall once upon a time

Livin was so easy and I felt so fine

But my my my

Right before my very eyes

Satan came with fire to burn me

Wouldn't listen when they warned me

A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey

Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money

Thirty minutes after my ship set sail

She put up a sign and my house began to wail

But why why why I couldn't see it

In my little girl's eyes

She had such a way to fool me

Lord she had a way to fool me

And I would ask the woman can

You find it in yourself to please stand back

You ain't gonna rule me

Just when all began to fade

I reached out threw the ace of spades

I put her on a train to the everglades

Now that it's all over and gone

Somehow I just don't feel so alone

But lie lie lie

It seemed like such a waste of time

She did not ever seem to know me

But now it's much too late to show me

But if I ever see that woman walkin' down

The street I'll just stand back

And try to move away slowly

Oh yeah
