Baby Step Back Tab

by Gordon Lightfoot


Baby Step Back:Gordon Lightfoot.
#50 on pop charts and #17 on Alt.
in 1981.

#1.
       
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..

CHORUS:
               
Baby step back, baby step back.
                       
Either step up or step back.

#2.
        
No, you know I don't write no bad checks,
                   
I have no wish to repent.

I've seen a few, but whatever I do,
                     
I don't cause no accidents.

Whiskey and wine help me pass the time,
                   
I don't leave no evidence.

CHORUS:(x2)

#3.
         
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.

Last of all let me say it again,
                      
either step up or step on.

CHORUS:(x3)

An eighties hit from Kraziekhat.
