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. 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. 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
