One Way Out
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.
Ain't but one way out,
Lord, I just can't go out that door
Ain't but one way out,
Lord, I just can't go out that door
There's a man down there,
Might be your man, I won't know
Lord you got me trapped woman,
On the second floor;
If I get out this time,
I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby,
I can ease out soft and slow
Hey your neighbors,
Won't be talking stuff they don't know.
Come on boys.
I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
Know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world,
I'm walking out that front door
Cause there's a man down there,
Might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,
Might be your man I don't know.
