Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Baby Step Back

Now it looks to me like the same old place

In the sky it looks like rain

The same old town with the same old streets

The address has not changed

You can find me there, with the door shut tight

And the one wish that remains

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Now you know I don't write no bad checks

I have no wish to repent

I have seen a few but whatever I do

I don't cause no accidents

A whiskey and wine help me pass the time

I don't leave no evidence

Baby step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Still I don't kneel down, I was born to fight

So you'd best leave me alone

Maybe I'll get much more than I need

Or much less than I should own

The last of all let me say it again

Either step up or step on

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby, walk back, baby walk back

Either walk on or walk back

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby, step back, baby step back

Either step up or step back

Baby, walk back, baby walk back
