Gotta blues shuffle to it
VERSE:
=====
E7Now it looks to me like the same old place,
In the sky it looks like rain.
A7The same old town with the same old streets,
My addGress has nAot cE7hanged.
You can fA7ind me there with the door shut tight
And the oGne wish tAhat reE7mains
CHORUS:

A7Baby step back, baby step back
Either step up or step back.E7  
VERSE:
=====
E7No you know I don't write no bad checks
I have no wish to repent
A7I've seen a few, but whatever I do
I don't cause no accidentsE7  
A7Whiskey and wine help me pass the time
I don't leGave no AeviE7dence

VERSE:
=====
E7Still I don't kneel down, I was born to fight
So you'd best leave me alone
A7Maybe I'll get much more than I need
Or much lGess than AI shoulE7d own
A7Last of all let me say it again
Either sGtep up oAr steE7p on

Either sGtep up Aor steE7p back.

Either waGlk-on oAr steE7p back
A7Baby step back, baby step back
Either step up or step bacE7k.
A7Baby step back, baby step back
Either stGep up oAr steE7p back.
A7Baby step back, baby step back
Either step up or step bE7ack.
