about

The Allman Bros. turned this '61 Sonny Boy Williamson blues into a rock & roll hit in 1971...A time when blues, country, rock, soul, gospel, and hillbilly all played on the same radio station.

Well written songs always inspire interpretations. Couldn't help myself either. Recorded at my '63 loft in downtown Phoenix back in 2007, when I stumbled into resurrecting my music career after a 10-year hiatus..

Even with its questionable production, this track still streams on all the music channels, and gets a TV placement on occasion. Funny how some songs never go out of style.

lyrics

V1
Ain't but one way out baby
Lord I just can't go out that door
Ain't but one way out baby
Lord I just can't go out that door
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your old man, I don't know

V2
Lord you got me trapped woman, up on this second floor
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more
Raise your window baby, so I can ease out soft and slow
And your neighbors won't be talkin', all that stuff that they don't know

V3
You know I'm foolish just to be here, in the first place
I know some man's gonna come along, take my place
Ain't no way in the world, I'm goin' out that front door
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your old man, I don't know
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your old man, I don't know
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your old man, I don't know
