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 ain't learnin
Same sad story thats a fact
One step up and two steps back
Bird 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
Im 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 in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I dont see the man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
movin 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
Me well honey im pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
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)
