Gimme Three Steps (Live)

作词 : Collins, VanZant

i was cutting the rug down at place called the jug

with a girl named linda lou

when in walked a man with a gun in his hand

and he was looking for you know who.

he said,'hey there,fellow with the hair colored yellow,

whatcha tryin'to prove?

'cause that's my woman there and i'm a man who cares

and this might be all for you.'

i said,'excuse me.'

i was scared and fearing for my life,

i was shaking like a leaf on a tree

'cause he was lean,mean,big and bad,lord,

pointin'that gun at me.

'oh,wait a minute,mister,i didn't even kiss her.

don't want no trouble with you.

and i know you don't owe me but i wish you'd let me

ask one favor from you.'

oh,won't you

gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,

gimme three steps toward the door?

gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,

and you'll never see me no more.'

for sure

well the crowd cleared away and i began to pray

and the water fell on the floor.

and i'm telling you,son,it ain't no fun

staring straigth down a forty-four.

well,he turned and screamed at linda lou

and that's the break i was looking for.

well,you could hear me screaming a mile away

as i was headed out toward the door.

oh,won't you

gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,

gimme three steps toward the door?

gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,

and you'll never see me no more.'

show me the back door
