Stand Back lyrics
by Allman Brothers Band
(Gregg Allman, Berry Oakley)I recall once upon a timeLivin' was so easy and I felt so fineBut, my, my, myRight before my very eyesSatan came with fire to burn meWouldn't listen when they warned meA dagger in my backWhile she's calling me honey wouldn't stand backFor neither love nor moneyThirty minutes after my ship set sailShe put up a sign and my house began to wailBut, why, why, whyI couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?She had such a way to fool meLord, she had a way to fool meAnd 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 fadeI reached out, threw the Ace of SpadesI put her on a train to the EvergladesNow that it's all over and goneSomehow I just don't feel so aloneBut, lie, lie, lieIt seemed like such a waste of timeShe did not ever seem to know meBut, now it's much too late to show meBut, if I ever see that womanWalkin' down the street I'll just stand backAnd try to move away slowly, oh yeah
