Baby Step Back Lyrics By Gordon Lightfoot

    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
    my address has not changed
    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

    now 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 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 walk back baby walk back
    either walk on or walk 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 baby step back
    either step up or step back
