From the album Skynyrd's Innyrds.

I was cuttin' the 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
And he was looking for you-know-who.
He said hey there fella with the hair colored yellow,
What you tryin' 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!

Well 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,
And pointin' that gun at me.
I said, now 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.

Well, won't you gimme 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!
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, it ain't no fun
Lookin' straight down a .44.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou,
And that's the break I was lookin' for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out toward the door,

Hey, won't you gimme 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!
