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
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
All she said was
"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
Hold on!
Come on, Tommy!
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"
All we did was
"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
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
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
All she said was
"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
