I recall once upon a time
Livin' was so easy and I felt so fine
My, my, my, right before my very eyes
Satan came and fired upon me
Wouldn't listen when they warned me
Dagger in my back while he's calling me honey
Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
He put up a sign and my house began to wail
But my, my, my, I couldn't see it in my sweet man's eyes
He had such a way to fool me
Lord, had such a way to fool me
And I would ask the man, "Can you find an angel, son?
But please, stand back, you ain't gonna rule me"
Just when it all began to fade
I reached out and drew the ace of spades
And put him on a train to the everglades
ย
Now that it's all over and gone
Somehow I just don't feel so all alone
But my, my, my, it seemed like such a waste of time
He did not ever seem to know me
And now it's got too late to show me
And if I ever see that man walkin' down the street
I'll just stand back and try to move away slowly
Lord, move away
Yeah, slowly
Gonna step away
(Steppin' back)
(Steppin' back)
(Steppin' back)
(Steppin' back)
ย
Oh, Lord, oh, step back, darlin'
