[Verse 1]
I got outta work and I felt like shootin' pool
Or maybe do a little drinkin' if I can find an empty stool
I've gotta find a way to pass some of this extra time
Since my house is dark and empty and that girl of mine
Left me high and lonesome, she played me for a fool
[Verse 2]
Down at the Buckhorn bar they had a good house band
I'd had about all of the solitude that this old boy could stand
I pulled my truck up underneath the flashin' neon lights
Saw a pretty little woman as I walked inside
She musta seen that hurtin' in my eyes 'cause she took my hand
[Pre-Chorus]
All she said was
[Chorus]
Two steps forward and one stеp back
We was movin' to the rhythm in the honky-tonk shack
My troublеs and my worries, they all seemed to slip away
I know it's late and I should probably go home
But I can't leave you dancin' out here all alone
I got nobody waitin' up for me, so I think I'll stay
[Verse 3]
I felt my heart start beatin' as I pulled her body close to mine
She had those red lips, swingin' hips
She knew how to have a good time
She was a true heartbreaker, it was plain to see
So I asked her if she wanted to come home with me
She said, "You couldn't make me leave this hardwood floor if you tried"
[Pre-Chorus]
All we did was
[Chorus]
Two steps forward and one step back
We was movin' to the rhythm in the honky-tonk shack
My troubles and my worries, they all seemed to slip away
I know it's late and I should probably go home
But I can't leave you dancin' out here all alone
I got nobody waitin' up for me, so I think I'll stay
I got nobody waitin' up for me, so I think I'll stay
I got outta work and I felt like shootin' pool
Or maybe do a little drinkin' if I can find an empty stool
I've gotta find a way to pass some of this extra time
Since my house is dark and empty and that girl of mine
Left me high and lonesome, she played me for a fool
