My Name Is Earl movie - Gimme Three Steps lyrics

rate me

I was cutting the rug<br>

Down at 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>

He said, "Hey there, fellow<br>

With the hair colored yellow<br>

Whatcha 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>

I said, "Excuse me"<br>

I was scared and fearing for my life<br>

I was shaking like a leaf on a tree<br>

'Cause he was lean, mean<br>

Big and bad, Lord<br>

Pointin' that gun on me<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>

chorus:<br>

"Oh, won't you<br>

Gimme three steps, gimme<br>

three steps, mister<br>

Gimme three steps toward the door?<br>

Gimme three steps, gimme<br>

three steps, mister<br>

And you'll never see me no more"<br>

Oh, sure<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>

Staring straight down a forty-four<br>

Well, he turned and<br>

screamed at Linda Lou<br>

And that's the break I was looking for<br>

Well, you could hear me<br>

screaming a mile away<br>

I was headed out toward the door<br>

chorus<br>

Show me the back door <br>

<br>
