Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps Lyrics
I was cutting the rugDown at a place called the jugWith a girl named linda luWhen in walked a manWith a gun in his handAnd he was looking for you know who.He said, hey there fellow,With the hair colored yellow,Watcha tryin to prove?cause thats my woman thereAnd Im a man who caresAnd this might be all for you.I was scared and fearing for my life.I was shakin like a leaf on a tree.cause he was lean, mean,Big and bad, lord,Pointin that gun at me.I said, wait a minute, mister,I didnt even kiss her.Dont want no trouble with you.And I know you dont owe meBut I wish youd let meAsk one favor from you.(chorus)wont you give me three steps,Gimme three steps mister,Gimme three steps towards the door?Gimme three stepsGimme three steps mister,And youll never see me no more.Well the crowd cleared awayAnd I began to prayAs the water fell on the floor.And Im telling you son,Well, it aint no funStaring straight down a forty-four.Well he turned and screamed at linda luAnd thats the break I was looking for.And you could hear me screaming a mile awayAs I was headed out towards the door.(chorus)
