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 thats my woman there And Im 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, Pointin that gun at me. Oh wait a minute, mister, I didnt even kiss her. Dont want no trouble with you. And I know you dont owe me But I wish youd let me Ask one favor from you.
(chorus) wont you give me three steps, Gimme three steps mister, Gimme three steps towards the door? Gimme three steps Gimme three steps mister, And youll 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 Im telling you son, Well, it aint no fun Staring straight down a forty-four. Well he turned and screamed at linda lu And thats the break I was looking for. And you could hear me screaming a mile away As I was headed out towards the door.
(chorus)
Show me the back door !
