A troubled young lady comes in from the rain
helpless and hiding from some kind of pain
she don t know the reason for the way that she feels
and she don t know the truth but she knows that it s real
so she throws down her cards and asks God to redeal once more


One step forward and two steps back
She might be strange but she has a knack
She ll lift her arms up to the sky and say
Oh my God don t you let him say goodbye
A troubled young man comes walking this way
and he s walkin real tall like this is his day
and his boots make his strong, well that s what he thinks
but he can t disappear in the whisky he drinks
and the harder he acts the deeper he sinks again
One step forward and two steps back
He might be strange but he has a knack
He ll lift his arms up to the sky and say
Oh my god don t you let her say goodbye


Oh my love Oh my love Oh my love


One step forward and two steps back
I might be strange but I have a knack
I ll lift my arms up to the sky and say
Oh my god it s alright if she says goodbye
