Two Steps Forward

Loretta Lynn · Blue Kentucky Girl [1965]

(Loretta Lynn)



Well here you come

And I know what I'm gonna say

My mind's made up

And I'm a leavin' you today.



Well, I'm tired of askin' you where you've been

I'm tired of all this mis'ry I'm in

Two steps forward

And six steps back again.



Well, my clothes're packed

And I'm a headin' for the door

Don't look for me back

'Cause I won't be back no more.



Well, I may think of you now and then

But don't hold your breath cause I don't know when

Two steps forward

And six steps back again.



Two steps forward and six steps back

You think I didn't want to go

These tears in my eyes they're not so real

I'm just cuttin' on a show.



I'm leavin' this town and that's for certain

Not much I ain't a cryin', not much I ain't a hurtin'

Two steps forward

And six steps back again.

And six steps back again.



Yeah, two steps forward

And six steps back again...
