I was cutting the rug down at a place called the jug
With a girl named linda lou
When he in walked a man with a gun in his hand
He was looking for you know who
He said hey there fellow with your hair colored 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 and mean and big and bad lord
Pointing 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 favor from you
Oh 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 across me the way and I begin 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 it turned and screamed at linda lou
That's the break I was looking for
If you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out toward the door
Oh won't you give me three steps
Gimme three steps mister
Gimme three steps toward the door
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister
And you'll never see me no more
Show me the back door
