One Step Up |
Woke up this morning, the house was cold
Checked out the furnace, she wasn't burning
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turning
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
We ain't learning
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 singing
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells ain't ringing
I'm sitting here in this bar tonight
But all I'm thinking
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 'long the line I slipped off track
I'm caught moving one step up and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sending
Hmm she ain't looking too married
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
(One step up and two steps back)
One step up and two steps back
