Allman, Gregg - One Way Out Lyrics






Ain't but one way out darling, Lord I just can't go out that door
Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out that 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 your window baby, I can ease out soft and slow
Lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know

Lord I'm foolish to be here on the first place
I know some man gonna come in and take my place
Ain't no way in the world I'm goin' 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 husband I don't know
'Cause there's a man down there
Lord, it just might happen to be your man, baby
Oh, it just might be your man, baby
Lord, it just might be your man
Oh darling, I just don't know

  4. R.... G....

    Me too Vern!

  5. m.... ....

    too bad this is dubbed,but listen to the sound of two drummers. I never knew that until I watched this video EXCELLENT SONG

  6. l.... l....

    you would think done in a studio,no ,,philmore east whata gem

  7. L.... C....

    catch my panties ... Fling!

  8. J.... N....

    YOURE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY

  9. H.... M....

    Gregg Allman was the best Blues guy ever .

  10. m.... ....

    DUANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. L.... M....

    Duane allman,Dickey Betts, and Greg allman, dosnt get no better than this.excellent

  12. J.... M....

    Played that album to death. Seattle 1971... Or so.

  13. G.... J....

    Not sure where the video is actually from - at least two places, or were we not supposed to notice Dickie's guitar changing between a Paul and an SG?

  14. M.... S....

    Classic in every way

  15. M.... F....

    The granddaddies of southern rock—-CLASSIC!!

  16. J.... E....

    The Brothers will always be in my head...but trace the song back to its roots and check out the Elmore James version to learn what truly inspired the Allman Brothers.

  17. G.... B....

    THE VERY BEST SLIDE GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD. I SAW THEM LIVE AT FILLMORE EAST. BY THE WAY DUANE DOES NOT USE A PICK WHEN PAYING SLIDE. HIS MASTERFUL PLAYING STILL STANDS UP ALMOST 50 YEARS LATER. QUICKWATER.

  18. J.... t....

    MEN Rocking !!

  19. R.... R....

    One of the greatest ever written. Period.

  20. R.... ....

    GREAT GREAT FUCKING TUNE & RECORDING - HOWEVER THIS CLIP IS NOT OF THAT PERFORMANCE - TOTAL BULLSHIT"..!

    R.... ....

    Read the info on the vid.. there is no footage from the Fillmore closing show so he created his own. Close your eyes if it offends you so much.

  21. V.... Q....

    Of course it's a great song, but I'm amazed how fast Duane And Dickey switch from playing a Les Paul to an SG in .02 seconds and back again, and back again ....

    V.... Q....

    The video is cobbled together from clips of the concert, or various concerts. The playing and singing does not match the performance. Still good to see.

    V.... Q....

    I know. I was being facetious.

  22. C.... G....

    "Looks Like Dwayne Allman And Dickie Betts To Me.".......And "Jeff, You Are Absolutely Right."....Charles.....

  23. H.... ....

    That’s the shit.

  24. A.... M....

    This is a great cover, but I still prefer Elmore James' original.

  25. C.... J....

    Thank you

  26. n.... ....

    One way out and trapped on the second floor. That's not a good feeling.

  27. J.... M....

    They kick this songs ass every time

  28. J.... H....

    Greg was a true blues singer.

  29. M.... D....

    542 people need a frontal lobotomy about now... or maybe they've already had one. How could anyone vote thumbs down on this performance? The amazing musicianship has been well noted in these comments, however, the incredible soulfulness of Gregg's voice here is just as noteworthy.

  30. J.... W....

    DAMN WHAT THE ....why are most of these films out of sync...shit !

    J.... W....

    There is no live footage of one way out with Duane so this guy made a vid of a few different shows. Most of the shots without Duane are from a '72 show and the Duane footage is from '70 Love Valley Festival.

  31. J.... R....

    There’s something wrong with this footage. I recognize the recording from the album, but you see Dickey Betts playing different guitars during the solo. First he is playing a Les Paul and then later he’s playing and SG. In sum, the footage does not match the recording. They tried to get it as close as they could.

    J.... R....

    Jonathan R. Zeko Yes and Greg’s singing is not from this video for sure. It’s a pastiche.

  32. D.... ....

    Duanne Allman The Best

  33. d.... ....

    in order to properly play the guitar one must contort the face, as can be seen.

  34. J.... A....

    Saw them when I was 16 at the Forum in Inglewood California man did we have fun that night when the concert was over we headed to manhattan beach to a party stoned out of our mines..... geez the things we done back then, crazy KIDS! go figure lol lol.

  35. M.... G....

    Dickie Betts is probably the most underrated guitar player ever!

  36. D.... ....

    that voice

  37. M.... H....

    I'm 60 years young people allways asking about and complement my gen s music and wishing that could have been there the times share good but I wouldn't won't to go back it doesn't exist anymore as far as the music learn to play REAL instruments throw all the electric Tron toys away

  38. E.... J....

    Cruising around town in big Ed's metal flake green '54 chevy with American mags in 1972, listening to this on 8 track full blast with a folded matchbook cover stuffed in there so it wouldn't skip... Good times. Best live recording on the planet imho...

  39. t.... ....

    Great band!

  40. D.... P....

    Saw skydog as Allmann Joys while he was session muso in Muscle Shoals with Eric, Percy and Aretha, what's not to like!

  41. n.... ....

    That man at the front door was me, and had I known what was transpiring on that top floor with my beautiful wife, that damn Allman boy woulda been more shot up than a Swiss cheese, yessir.

  42. J.... R....

    1971.. so f...king good love this years!!!

  43. R.... M....

    A good guitarist can make there guitar talk but Duane was the only one who can make his guitar sing .

  48. T.... S....

    True Virtuosos...it Doesn’t get any better than this!

  49. S.... H....

    so happy that i live right down the road from the Allman Brothers home The Big House in Macon Georgia

  50. R.... M....

    Still get chills listening to this tune, If this don't move you, get checked out ASAP

  51. C.... D....

    been playing guitar half my life, singing for almost all of it. I'll never reach this level of awesome for either one. these guys were amazing

  52. l.... m....

    😔🙏🏾

  53. I.... B....

    He was the great guitar man behind all the Atlantic successes and the inventor of tat doubke guitar play , Listen to Hey Jiude by Wilson Piclett

  54. C.... F....

    Absolutely!!!!!!

  55. R.... D....

    Gets you down the road..

  56. D.... D....

    Isn't this the video that was used when the ABB was featured on Don Kirshner's "In Concert" TV show that was shown late Friday nights back then? "In Concert" was the ABC rival to NBC's "Midnight Special".

  57. J.... M....

    I was 11 years old when I first heard this coming out of my best friend's brother's room across the street. My older sisters had been rocking the Beatles, so I had some idea of rock and roll. This was a game changer. Loved them ever since. Just as much for Susan and Derek. They carry on the sound so well.

  58. A.... D....

    Still one of the greatest live albums of all time, recorded at a time when it was rare to release a concert as an album.

  59. P.... G....

    I dont think the voice is live, this must be dubbed or something.

    P.... G....

    The slide guitar we're hearing doesn't match up to what's being played on the guitar neck. As a guitarist it's pretty easy to tell. The video is a bit of a 'compilation' I would guess. Still cool to see.

  60. R.... R....

    Dwane plays with his fingers no pick

  61. R.... R....

    Mandatory listening for anyone under 50 listen and learn

  62. R.... R....

    Dwane and Richard dickie betts nothin better than that

  63. R.... R....

    Put the head phones on mill in eals this is how it’s done

  64. R.... R....

    Best slide guitarist that ever lived even Clapton was impressed

  65. W.... S....

    Fine music- hard to beat this sound..

  66. R.... P....

    buen temazo saludos para los ke ven este video desde chile

  67. C.... P....

    They blow the Dead away. Not saying the Dead don't have some great songs , but given the choice.

  68. B.... P....

    Greg Allman,what a fantastic voice !

  69. G.... D....

    It is just me or I have the impression that the song ''Are you gonna be my girl'' by Jet was inspired by this intro?

  70. M.... M....

    One of the best rock songs, by one of the absolute best bands. Love Live The Allman Bros.

  71. R.... E....

    Never tire of this tune.. it rocks and rocks...

  72. P.... A....

    Does anyone else start moving their legs when this plays?

    P.... A....

    And then again when it starts playing in my head again for days. It just doesn't get much better than this does it.

    P.... A....

    @Road Runner Agreed. This song stays with me. It always has.

    P.... A....

    Can't sit still!!

    P.... A....

    @Maria Elena Rodriguez I was lucky enough to see them in 76 and 97. Greg Allmon came through our town a few months before he passed. Still kicking myself for not going to see him.

  73. I.... W....

    These them Tennessee boys don’t y’all forget it.

  74. S.... B....

    Real Talent!

  75. C.... T....

    When the Aliens ask for a definition what the Rockin Blues are.....play this for them.

  76. J.... D....

    Well, what can I say? Fantastic 👍👍👍👍👊

  77. T.... W....

    Bad ass song 🤗

  78. b.... h....

    I've sometimes wondered what some Allman Brothers' compositions might sound like orchestrated,
    This is close, and perhaps more appropriate,
    Big Band of Brothers: A Jazz Celebration of the Allman Brothers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0fU4v4g8c8&list=PLe-WQQHddpPOS5JM_hAOZbk-OzFPEiXm4&index=2

  79. F.... A....

    What makes this is Dickie and Duane’s dueling guitars. Greg has the perfect soulful voice too. What a masterpiece

    Camera work and editing were pretty crappy though. It’s like they didn’t know who was playing half of the time. Great music nonetheless

  80. C.... F....

    Imagine the pinnacles Duane would have reached! He was already at the top in 1971 at his young age...He deserves to be in the "Rock n Roll" (eye roll here) Hall of Fame as the top slide guitarist OF ALL FUCKING TIME! END OF DISCUSSION!!!!!!!

  81. b.... ....

    Epic performance. Though FTR as noted by the uploader the vid is not of what we're listening to. No less epic!

  82. G.... G....

    Duane allman .the king of slide.guitar.

  83. J.... V....

    Only the good die young

  84. B.... S....

    Love oldies....the REAL music from REAL PEOPLE

  85. M.... E....

    Damn, they were good. Lucky enough to see them twice. First time with Duane..best slide guitarist on the planet!

  86. C.... ....

    Best live album ever. Just saw the Allman Betts band and they’re killin it👍. The road goes on forever ✌️

  87. P.... S....

    Duane and Greg are jamming again!

    What a band!!!

  88. R.... R....

    Man, I love the Allman Brothers and this song!!!! Thank you for posting!!!!

  89. G.... B....

    HERE IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST SLIDE PLAYER. DUANE ALLMAN. NUFF SAID. LISTEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG FOR HIS WHINNEY DOG PLAYING. FANTASTIC.. DICKEY BETTS EAT YOUR HEART OUT. QUICKWATER.

  90. C.... R....

  91. r.... ....

    My parents used to go see them way back in the day..
    When I was little..

  92. T.... M....

    It was not known at the time.... that it is the greatest track ever to be recorded. Now we know.

  93. J.... V....

    I don’t understand why anyone who chose to listen to this classic Allman Brothers song would give it a thumbs down??

    J.... V....

    Because they are the enemy of the free world.

  94. D.... B....

    Love this song my brother got me hooked on that Allman's whipping post!

  95. a.... ....

    I wonder if those folks sitting in the front row with blank looks on their faces really understood what they were watching? I know they cant imagine what that seat would cost today if we had them for one more show.
