Morning Audibles 6.8.10 I'm Telling You Son It Ain't No Fun

"Well the Crowd Drew Away 

& I Began To Pray

And My Water Fell On the Floor

And I'm Telling You Son

Well It Ain't No Fun

STARIN' STRAIGHT DOWN a "44""

Lynrd Skynrd

Knebworth Fair - Hertfordshire, ENGLAND

August, 1976

If anybody is curious, here's how CV sees this thing playing out...

- As of Monday's close, I'm putting 1065 as pretty hefty resistance (1071 thereafter - which isn't exactly "cold steel")...

- Many, including myself, are talking about that 1040 level as "STARIN STRAIGHT DOWN A 44"... Break that and where do we fall?

- I'm going to nominate the 992-1014 zone (1003 being the "midpoint" - per the chart)... I'd say we hit the bottom within June 14th...

- I'm not interested "whichever comes first", but a BOUNCE would likely ensue... Most likely to either 1071 area, or possibly all the way up to gap cover (which most were looking at last week)... That's 1110-1120 zone-ish...

- After that, it would be "GIMME 3 STEPS TOWARDS THE DOOR" time... (Unless this is, IN FACT, a "TYPICAL RECOVERY"...

I think I'll be VERY ENTERTAINED to hear the rhetoric spouted at the moment that occurs...

I might just "pen me some new lyrics"...

GIMME 3 STEPS (lyrics)

I was cutting the rug 

Down at a place called The Jug 

With a girl named Linda Lu 

When in walked a man 

With a gun in his hand 

And he was looking for you know who. 

He said, "Hey there fellow, 

With the hair colored yellow, 

Watcha tryin' to prove? 

'Cause that's my woman there 

And I'm a man who cares 

And this might be all for you." 

I was scared and fearing for my life. 

I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. 

'Cause he was lean, & mean, 

Big and bad, Lord, 

Pointin' that gun at me. 

I said, "Wait a minute, mister, 

I didn't even kiss her. 

Don't want no trouble with you. 

And I know you don't owe me 

But I wish you'd let me 

Ask one favor from you." 

(Chorus) 

"Won't you give me three steps, 

Gimme three steps mister, 

Gimme three steps towards the door? 

Gimme three steps 

Gimme three steps mister, 

And you'll never see me no more." 

Well the crowd cleared away 

And I began to pray 

As my water fell on the floor. 

And I'm telling you son, 

Well, it ain't no fun 

Staring straight down a forty-four. 

Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu 

And that's the break I was looking for. 

And you could hear me screaming a mile away 

As I was headed out towards the door.
