Stand Back - Live at the Beacon Theatre, New York, NY - March 2000

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 with fire to burn me
 And wouldn't listen when they warned me
 Dagger in my back
 She's calling me honey wouldn't stand back
 For neither love nor money oh yeah
 Thirty minutes after my ship set sail
 She put up a sign and my house began to wail
 Why, why, why I couldn't see it in my little girl's eyes?
 She had such a way to fool me
 Lord 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" Oh yeah
 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
 Why, why, why 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
