Gimme Three Steps
Lynyrd Skynyrd
I was cutting a 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 was scared and fearing for my life. I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cause he was lean and 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
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus
Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell on the floor
And I’m telling you son well it ain’t no fun staring straight down a forty-four
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou and that’s the break I was looking for
And you could hear me screaming a mile away as I was headed out toward the door
Repeat Chorus
Show me the back door
