Woke up this morning my house was cold
|
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
|
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
|
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
|
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
|
But we ain't learnin'
|
We're the same sad story that's a fact
|
One step up and two steps back
|
|
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
|
But he ain't singin'
|
Girl in white outside a church in June
|
But the church bells they ain't ringing
|
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
|
But all I'm thinkin' is
|
I'm the same old story same old act
|
One step up and two steps back
|
|
It's the same thing night on night
|
Who's wrong baby who's right
|
Another fight and I slam the door on
|
Another battle in our dirty little war
|
When I look at myself I don't see
|
The man I wanted to be
|
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
|
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back
|
|
There's a girl across the bar
|
I get the message she's sendin'
|
Mmm, she ain't lookin' too married
|
And me, well honey I'm pretending
|
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
|
The music was never-ending
|
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
|
One step up and two steps back
|
One step up and two steps back
|
One step up and two steps back
|
