One Step Up

Woke up this mornin' The house was cold Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin' Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin' Givin' each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learnin' Same sad story that's a fact Once 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 ringin' Sittin' here in this bar tonight And 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 all night Who's wrong and baby who's right Another fight and I slam the door on Another battle and a 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 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 Me, we well honey I'm pretendin' Last night I dreamed I held you in my amrs The music was never endin' We danced as the evening sky faded to black Movin' one step up and two steps up (one step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back Ohhh..baby we're movin One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back Mmm..one step up and two steps back (one step up and two steps back) (one step up and two steps back)
