the allman brothers band – stand back lyrics
by gregg allman and 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 callin’ 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 me
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 and 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
