Elmore James
One Way Out
[Chorus]
One way out baby
Lord, I just can't go out the door
Ain't but one way out baby
Lord, I just can't go out the door
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your man I don't know

[Verse 1]
Lord you got me trapped a woman, on the second floor
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more
So raise your window baby
Well, I'm gonna ease out soft and slow
And no, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know

[Verse 2]
I'm foolish to be here in the first place
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place
There ain't no way in the world
That I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your man, I don't know

[Chorus]
One way out baby
Lord, I just can't go out the door
Ain't but one way out baby
Lord, I just can't go out the door
Cause there's a man down there
Might be your man I don't know
[Chorus]
Lord, there's a man down there
Might be your man I don't know
Well, he might be your man
Lord, baby, I just don't know
