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
