One Step Up - Kenny Chesney

Woke up this mornin, the house was cold
Checked the furnace, she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't a turnin'.

Givin' each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
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 ringin'.

Sittin' here in this bar tonight
And 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, 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 dont see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
Movin' one step up and two steps back.

Theres a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm, she ain't lookin too married
Me, well honey, I'm pretending.

Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never endin'
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
Movin' 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.)

Ohhh, baby we're movin'.

One step up and two steps back.

One step up and two steps back.

One step up and two steps back.

Mmm, 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 one step back.

Oh baby.
