Gimme Three Steps 
(track 03 from the Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd LP)
I was cutting a 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 fella with the hair color yellow, watcha trying to prove?
‘Cause that’s my woman there, and I’m 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 shaking 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 didn’t even kiss her, don’t want no trouble with you
And I know you don’t owe me, but I wish you would 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”
Fo’ sure
Well the crowd cleared away, and I began to pray, and 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
“Show me the back door”
