Kick the Front Door In Songtext
von Big Joe Turner

I kicked the front door in
And I had to take the back door out
I kicked the front door in
And I had to take the back door out
And I was sleepin′ mighty peaceful
Then I heard somebody shout

I grabbed my clothes
I didn't even take time to dress
Yes, I grabbed my clothes
I didn′t even take time to dress
And I was booked
'Cause I got myself in an awful mess

I run down every alley, run down every lot
And I almost thought I heard a shot
I runnin' so fast, man, I was tired
And I crawled through everybody clothes lyin′ in yard
But I kicked the front door in
And I had to take the back door out


At one time
I thought I knowed what it was all about
Yeah, at one time
I thought I knowed what it was all about
I was drinkin′ little mash in the bar
And the chick said, "Come on and go to my house"

I wasn't worried
′Cause the chick was really fine
Man, I wasn't worried
′Cause the chick was really fine
I almost lost my life
And I almost lost my mind

Now she was laughin'
She was laughin′ at me
Then why did you run?
I told you not to worry about me
I said, "Baby, I ain't have a chance, stick around and see"

The woman is married
I found out a long time after that
Yeah, the woman was married
And I found out a long time after that
I'm a big idiot now
Goin′ into them buffet flats


I kicked the front door in
Had to take the back door out
And I was sleepin′ mighty peaceful
Then I heard somebody shout
And I remember
I remember what it was all about

I kicked the front door in
