Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the back door man
I am the back door man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls, they understand
[Verse 2]
When everybody is tryin' to sleep
I'm somewhere making my midnight creep
And every morning when the rooster crows
He's tellin' me that it's the time to go
[Verse 3]
I am the back door man
I am the back door man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls, they understand
[Verse 4]
Well, they took me to the doctor, shot full of holes
The nurse she cried, "Save this soul"
I was accused of murder in first degree
The judge's wife cried, "Let the man go free"
[Verse 5]
I am the back door man
I am the back door man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls, they understand
[Verse 6]
I was accused of murder in first degree
The judge's wife cried, "Let the man go free"
The cop's wife cried, "Don't take him down"
I'd rather be in six feet of ground
[Verse 7]
I am the back door man
I am the back door man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls, they understand
[Verse 8]
I am the back door man
I am the back door man
Well, the men don't know
But the little girls, they understand
[Verse 9]
I am
I am
I am
A backdoor man
