Colt Ford - Gimme Three Steps lyrics
[Colt Ford - Gimme Three Steps lyrics]
I was cuttin' the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walks a man with a gun in his hand
And he was lookin' for you know who
He said, "Hey there fellow
With the hair colored yellow
What you tryin' to prove?
Because that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you
I said "scuse me?"
I was scared and fearin' for my life
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree
'Cause he was lean and mean and
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 know 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" for sure!
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
And the water fell on the floor
And I'm tellin' you son that it ain't no fun
Starin' straight down a forty-four
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was lookin' for
And you could hear me screamin' 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" for sure!
