"One Way Out" lyrics - ELMORE JAMES

Ain't but one way out baby,
Lord, I just can't go out the door
Ain't but one way out baby,
And Lord I just can't go out the door
'Cause there's a man down there,
Might be your man I don't know

Lord, you got me trapped woman,
Up on the second floor
If I get by this time,
I won't be trapped no more
So raise our window baby,
I can ease out soft and slow
And Lord, your neighbors, no they won't be,
Talking that stuff that they don't know

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place
Ain't no way in the world,
I'm going 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

'Cause there's a man down there,
Lord, it just might happen to be your man
Lord, it just a might be your man
Lord, it just a might be your man
Oh baby, I just don't know
