Gimme 3 Steps Lyrics

"Gimme 3 Steps"  as recorded by

 Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

 I was cutting a rug down at a place called the jug

 With a girl named Linda Lou

 When in walked a man with a gun in his hand Looking at you-know-who

 He said Hey there fellow With the hair colored yellow

 What you tryin' to prove

 O Say That's my woman there and I'm a man who cares

 And this might be all for you

 I said Excuse me  I ain't gonna fight him over this girl

 

 I was scared and fearing for my life  Shakin' like a leaf on a tree

 Cause he was lean and mean and big and bad  A-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 facor from you

 

 CHORUS:

 	Won't you gimme 3 steps  Gimme 3 steps mister

 	Gimme 3 steps towards the door

 	Gimme 3 steps  Gimme 3 steps mister

 	You'll never see me no more  That's for sure

 

 SOLO

 

 Well the crowd drew away and I began to pray And water fell on the floor

 And I'm a-tellin' you son  It ain't no fun Starin' straight down a .44

 Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou  It's the break I was lookin' for

 You could hear me screamin' from a mile away "I was headed for the door"

 

 CHORUS:
