Gimme Three Steps — текст песни (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
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 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 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.

(Chorus)
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.

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 Lu
And that`s the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

(Chorus)
