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

Given each other some hard lessons lately

But we aren't learnin

Same sad story thats a fact

Once step up and two steps back



Heard on a wire outside my motel room but he aint singin

Girl in white outside a church in june

but the church bells they aint ringin'

Sittin here in this bar tonight

and all i'm thinkin is

How the same old story same old act

One step up and two steps back



Its the same thing night all night

Whos wrong and baby whos right

Another fight and i slam the door on

Another battle and I dirty a little one

When I look at myself I dont see the man I wanted to be

somewhere along the line I slipped off track

livin one step up and two steps back



Theres a girl across the bar

I get the message shes sendin

Mmm she aint lookin too married

We well honey I pretended

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)
