LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Gimme Three Steps (Original Version) lyrics
rate meI was cutting the rug<br />
Down at a place called 'The Jug'<br />
With a girl named Linda Lou<br />
When in walked a man<br />
With a gun in his hand<br />
And he was looking for you know who<br />
<br />
He said, "Hey there, fellow<br />
With the hair colored yellow<br />
What you tryin' to prove?<br />
'Cause that's my woman there<br />
And I'm a man who cares<br />
And this might be all for you"<br />
<br />
I was scared and fearing for my life<br />
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree<br />
'Cause he was lean and mean<br />
Big and bad, Lord<br />
Pointin' that gun at me<br />
<br />
Oh, wait a minute, mister<br />
I didn't even kiss her<br />
Don't want no trouble with you<br />
And I know you don't owe me<br />
But I wished you would let me<br />
Ask one favor from you<br />
<br />
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
Gimme three steps towards the door<br />
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
And you'll never see me no more<br />
<br />
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
Gimme three steps towards the door<br />
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
And you'll never see me no more<br />
<br />
Well, the crowd cleared away<br />
And I began to pray<br />
And the water fell on the floor<br />
And I'm telling you, son<br />
Well, it ain't no fun<br />
I'll be lookin' at a forty-four<br />
<br />
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou<br />
And that's the break I was looking for<br />
Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away<br />
As I was headin' out towards the door<br />
<br />
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
Gimme three steps towards the door<br />
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister<br />
And you'll never see me no more, for sure
