Stand Back Lyrics

(Gregg Allman, 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

While she's calling me honey wouldn't stand back

For neither love nor money

Thirty minutes after my ship set sail

She put up a sign and my house began to wail

But, why, why, why

I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?

She had such a way to fool me

Lord, she had a way to fool meAllman Brors Band - Stand Back - http://motolyrics.com/allman-brors-band/stand-back-lyrics.html

And I would ask the woman

"Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?

You ain't gonna rule me"

Just when all began to fade

I reached out, threw the Ace of Spades

I put her on a train to the Everglades

Now that it's all over and gone

Somehow I just don't feel so alone

But, lie, lie, lie

It seemed like such a waste of time

She did not ever seem to know me

But, 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
