Lyrics

[00:17.81] Woke up this morning my house was cold
[00:19.87] Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
[00:21.87] Went out and hoped in my old Ford
[00:24.36] Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
[00:26.36]
[00:27.11] We've given each other some hard lessons lately
[00:29.67]
[00:31.04] But we ain't learnin'
[00:32.16]
[00:33.04] We're the same sad story that's a fact
[00:36.66]
[00:40.71] One step up and two steps back
[00:42.21] Bird on a wire outside my motel room
[00:58.31]
[00:59.93] But he ain't singin'
[01:01.68]
[01:02.49] Girl in white outside a church in June
[01:05.05]
[01:05.86] But the church bells they ain't ringing
[01:08.54]
[01:09.05] I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
[01:11.48]
[01:12.54] But all I'm thinkin' is
[01:14.10]
[01:15.53] I'm the same old story same old act
[01:18.09]
[01:22.21] One step up and two steps back
[01:24.95]
[01:37.87] It's the same thing night on night
[01:40.56]
[01:41.12] Who's wrong baby who's right
[01:44.05] Another fight and I slam the door on
[01:47.17]
[01:48.42] Another battle in our dirty little war
[01:50.60] When I look at myself I don't see
[01:52.54] The man I wanted to be
[01:55.35]
[01:57.03] Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
[02:01.17]
[02:03.48] I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back
[02:07.84]
[02:19.51] There's a girl across the bar
[02:21.76]
[02:22.57] I get the message she's sendin'
[02:24.38]
[02:26.06] Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
[02:28.12]
[02:28.99] And me well honey I'm pretending
[02:31.12]
[02:31.93] Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
[02:35.42] The music was never-ending
[02:36.54] We danced as the evening sky faded to black
[02:41.72]
[02:45.34] One step up and two steps back
