One step forwards two steps backwards

That's the dance I want to learn

if I could master it and put a little style in it

I'll have some fun when it's my turn



Gable and Monroe in the garden

In the desert getting well

Eli and Thelma in the DC

It wasn't easy you can tell



It's just a step away

Please will you show us how to live

It's just a step away

When you got nothing left to give



Seven horses not enough to

Even fill the tank with gas

Monty's outside he wasn't inside

But he knows all things must pass

Bucking broncos we're all cowboys

Hanging from another age

Getting sauced that's just how the film goes

It's gotta be better than a wage



It's just a step away

Please will you show us how to live

It's just a step away

When you got nothing left to give
