Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps (studio version)

I was cutting the rug
Down at 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
Whatcha 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 shaking like a leaf on a tree
'Cause he was lean, mean
Big and bad, Lord
Pointin' that gun at me
"Oh, 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
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
Oh, sure

Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And 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
Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out toward the door

"Oh, won't you
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps toward the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more"
Show me the back door

This song always reminds me of my bartending days in the hood, when every pile of human excrement would walk in and I had to deal with it. " What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" <= very true.

[JTheGuitarPlayer]

Y'all Skynyrd fans will laugh at this: Some dumbass tried to tell me today that this is COUNTRY music and NOT rock! Now, I like to hear a little bit of Skynyrd every now and then, But I know it's just Southern Rock. Good, old fashioned, Southern Rock. NOT cuntry

@McCallahanIndustries
