Woke up this morning the 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'
Given each other some hard lessons lately
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
I'm the same old story same old act
One step up and two steps
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
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps
There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm, she ain't lookin' too 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
One step up and two steps
