[Verse 1] Woke up this morning, the house was cold Checked the furnace, she wasnt burnin Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she aint turnin Weve given each other some hard lessons lately But we aint learnin Were the same sad story, thats a fact One step up and two steps back [Verse 2] 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 ringing Im sittin here in this bar tonight But all Im thinkin is Im the same old story, same old act One step up and two steps back [Verse 3] Its the same thing night on night Whos wrong, baby? Whos 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 Im caught movin one step up and two steps back [Verse 4] Theres a girl across the bar I get the message shes sendin Mmm she aint lookin too married And me, well, honey Im pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was neverending 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 [Outro] Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
step, two, ooh, back, one
