One Step Up

Woke up this morning my house was coldChecked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'Went out and hoped in my old FordHit the engine but she ain't turnin'We've given each other some hard lessons latelyBut we ain't learnin'We're the same sad story that's a factOne step up and two steps backBird on a wire outside my motel roomBut he ain't singin'Girl in white outside a church in JuneBut the church bells they ain't ringingI'm sitting here in this bar tonightBut all I'm thinkin' isI'm the same old story same old actOne step up and two steps backIt's the same thing night on nightWho's wrong baby who's rightAnother fight and I slam the door onAnother battle in our dirty little warWhen I look at myself I don't seeThe man I wanted to beSomewhere along the line I slipped off trackI'm caught movin' one step up and two steps backThere's a girl across the barI get the message she's sendingMmm she ain't lookin' to marriedAnd me well honey I'm pretendingLast night I dreamed I held you in my armsThe music was never-endingWe danced as the evening sky faded to blackOne step up and two steps back
