The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 change

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

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

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

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 walk back baby walk back

Either walk on or walk back

Baby step back ...
