One Step Up

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning, the house was cold Checked the furnace, she wasn't burning Went out and hopped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she ain't turning Given each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learning Same sad story, that's a fact One step up and two steps back [Verse 2] Bird on a wire outside my motel room But he ain't singing Girl in white outside a church in June But the church bells, they ain't ringing I'm sitting here in this bar tonight And all I'm thinkin' is How the same old story, same old act One step up and two steps back [Verse 3] It's the same thing night all night Who's wrong and 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 Living one step up and two steps back [Verse 4] There's a girl across the bar, I Get the message she's sending Mm, she ain't looking too married Me, well, honey, I pretended Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was never ending We danced as the evening sky faded to black Moving one step up and two steps up (One step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (One step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back (One step up and two steps back) One step up and two steps back Oh, baby, we're moving [Refrain] One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back Mm, one step up and two steps back (One step up and two steps back) (One step up and two steps back) [Outro] Ooh, we're moving One step up and two steps back Oh, baby
