gimme three steps [bracketed] lynyrd skynyrd
i was cutting the rug
down at a 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
watcha tryin to prove
cause that's my woman there
and i'm a man who cares
and this might be all for you
i said excuse me
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
a pointin that gun at me
i said 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
oh won't you give me 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
for sure
well the crowd cleared away
and i began to pray
as 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
oh won't you give me 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
show me the back door
