Stand Back (Live)
Lyricist:Gregg L. Allman, Raymond Berry Oakley
I recall once upon a time Livin' was so easy and I felt so fine
But my, my, my right before my very eyes Satan came with fire to burn me Wouldn't listen when they warned me
A dagger in my back, she's calling me honey Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money, oh yeah
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail She put up a sign and my house began to wail
Why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes? She had such a way to fool me, Lord a way to fool me
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And I would ask the woman, 'Can you find it in yourself To please stand back? You ain't gonna rule me' Oh yeah
Just when all began to fade I reached out and threw the Ace of Spades Put her on a train to the Everglades
Now that it's all over and gone Somehow I just don't feel so all alone
But, lie, lie, lie it seemed like such a waste of time She did not ever seem to know me Now it's much too late to show me
But, if I ever see that woman walkin' down the street I'll just stand back and try to move away slowly, oh yeah
