Stand Back Lyrics - Five Classic Albums - Allman Brothers Band

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 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, 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
