Versuri 10. One Step Up

Woke up this morning my house was cold  
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'  
Went out and hoped 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  
One step up and two steps back
