The Allman Brothers Band have been playing "One Way Out" in concert from at least February 1971. A live recording was included on their 1972 album Eat a Peach. This was indeed recorded at the Fillmore East, but unlike the March 1971 live material used on the rest of Eat a Peach and At Fillmore East, "One Way Out" was recorded at the venue's final show on June 27, 1971.

Duane Allman – lead guitar, slide guitar

Gregg Allman – organ, piano, vocals

Dickey Betts – lead guitar

Berry Oakley – bass guitar

Jai Johanny Johanson – drums, congas, timbales

Butch Trucks – drums, tympani





Lyrics


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 a 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

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 and Lord, it might just happen to be your man

Lord, it just might be your man

Lord, it just a might be your man

Oh baby, I just don't know
