Bruce Springsteen - One Step Up lyrics

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
