Woke up this morning my house was cold
Checked out the
furnace she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old
Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each
other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the
same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps
back
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't
singin'
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church
bells they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar
tonight
But all I'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story same
old act
One step up and two steps back
It's the same thing
night on night
Who's wrong 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
I'm caught movin' one step up
and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar
I get the
message she's sendin'
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
And me
well honey I'm pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my
arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky
faded to black
