Gimme Three Steps Lyrics

Song Text:

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)
