LYNYRD SKYNYRD - Gimmie Three Steps lyrics
rate meI was cuttin' the rug<br />
Down at a place called the Jug<br />
With a girl named Linda Lu<br />
When in walked a man<br />
With a gun in his hand<br />
Lookin' 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 fearin' for my life<br />
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree<br />
'Cause he was lean and mean<br />
And 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 wish you'd let me<br />
Ask one favor from you"<br />
<br />
I said, "Won't you give me three steps<br />
Gimme three steps Mister<br />
Gimme three steps towards the door?<br />
Gimme three steps<br />
Gimme three steps Mister<br />
You'll never see me no more"<br />
<br />
Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray<br />
As the water fell on the floor<br />
And I'm tellin' you son, well it ain't no fun<br />
Starin' straight down a forty-four<br />
<br />
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu<br />
So break I was lookin' for<br />
And you could hear me screamin' a mile away<br />
As I was headed out towards the door<br />
<br />
I said, "Won't you give me three steps<br />
Gimme three steps Mister<br />
Gimme three steps towards the door?<br />
Gimme three steps<br />
Gimme three steps Mister<br />
You'll never see me no more"
