Two Steps Forward Lyrics by Loretta Lynn

Blue Kentucky Girl

1965

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
Tired of all this misery I'm in
Two steps forward and six steps back again

Well my clothes are 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 for real
I'm just puttin' 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

Two steps forward and six steps back
You think I didn't want to go
These tears in my eyes, they're not for real
I'm just puttin' 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

Yeah, two steps forward and six steps back again
Yeah, two steps forward and six steps back again
Yeah, two steps forward and six steps back again
