stiles

Woke up this morning 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 turnin'
we've given each other some hard lessons lately
but we ain't learnin'
we're the same old story that's a fact
one step up two steps back

bird on a wire outside my motel window
but he ain't singin'
girl in white outside a church in june
but the church bells they ain't ringin'
i'm sitting here in this bar tonight
but all i'm thinkin' is
i'm the same old story same old act
one step up 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
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 the track
one step further two steps back

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 faded to black
one step up two steps back

a fine track off the best "who the hell did i marry" album, ever.
as a counter to the bad karma of the Complaint thread, let's hear what has gone right for you today - what is making you feel good at the moment?

I got a good night's sleep, a tasty lunch, and a bunch of work done. Now, there's a 3D screening of some killer old '50s movie at the troc. It's been a good day.
