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 your window baby, and 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,
Mmm-mm-mmm-mm...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know..

Multiple solos and fills that are so evocative, I almost feel I'm hearing them in English.

That is what the "skip button" is for.   ...problem solved!  Along with many other RP listeners, I think that this is a GREAT TUNE!

Saw them when I was about 16 at the Orange Bowl in Miami not long after this Album came out. Right before they took the stage they had a peach eating contest. I can't recall the other bands but there was a full day of them. And back then tickets were under $15. Good times.


Cool!  I wish that I could have been there too!

Grateful to have seem them play with both Dicky and Gregg on stage. 
Rock'n night at the Jube it was   

Saw them at the Tabernacle downtown during Gregg's last tour with the band.  His voice  gave out after three or four tunes and somebody else (?)  filled in for the next 45 mins.  Not a bad replacement, and I'm embarrassed I don't know who it was.  

Looking forward to seeing Gregg, Duane, Berry, and whoever else they've got in the angelic lineup.  I'll be patient though; lots more to do and see on Earth.

Huh?  Could we hear an elaboration on your opinion? or just a simple answer as to why? I think we'd all appreciate ,and maybe learn something from that.

One of the greatest bands.  Anyone, any genre, any nation, anywhere, anytime.  Period. With Duane and post-Duane.  We'll never know just how smokin' hot they could have ever become.  But I'll grab what they were with all the senses that count.

Awesome song. The title means something different if you've recently watched "Star Wars: Andor," but it nonetheless describes a situation where people are trapped and need to escape.

Can't listen to this too many times. Other southern rock can get a little tired on re-listens, but the Allman's have a timeless sound.

The interplay between Duane and Dickey on this track is incredible.  It sounds fresh and crisp every time I hear it.  This is an amazing piece of music.  Thanks guys.

Allman Bros Band at the Fillmore East is the best live recording of all time. Period. The energy given off could power NYC for 100 years.

Yeah I know this is a track on Eat a Peach but only 'cause the first pressing couldn't hold it all.

To think Greg Allman was 23 and Duane 24 when this was recorded. The Fillmore was indeed a palace of musician royalty.

Wore out & had to buy multiple copies of all that plus of course the vinyl.  And everything from their first album through Brothers & Sisters.  Started a rock & roll band in 1972 - bass player - and the first song we attempted was Whipping Post. Lordy that was a badass bass line for a 19-year-old that had played bass for all of 2 months.
