One Step Up

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning The house was cold Checked the furnace she wasn't burning Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she is not a turning Given each other some hard lessons lately But we aren't learning Same sad story thats a fact Once step up and two steps back [Verse 2] Bird on a wire outside my motel room but he is not singing Girl in white outside a church in June But the church bells they are not ringing Sitting here in this bar tonight And all I'm thinkinthinkin' is How the same old story same old act One step up and two steps back [Verse 3] 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 don't see the man I wanted to be Somewhere along the line I slipped off track Living one step up and two steps back [Verse 4] There's a girl across the bar I get the message she's sending Mmm she is not looking too married We well honey I pretended Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was never ending We danced as the evening sky faded to black Moving 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 Moving [Outro] 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)
