Lyrics

"Two Step Trouble"
(Bruce Glaser)

He walks in
Same hat
Same grin
Boots already scuffin' up the floor
Spins me once
Says I'm the one
I've heard that line a hundred times before


He leans in close
Lets out that line
Says baby you're all my time
But out the corner of his eye
He's already gone

[Chorus]
He's a two-step trouble in a pearl-snap shirt
Finds one more heart just to halfway hurt
Gets 'em all ready
Then he's ready to run
Sees a new girl when the song's half done
From the front of the bar to the back of the room
Every Friday night he just changes his tune
We all know his move
So we laugh and slide
Let him spin alone on the other side

Last week
He picked up Brooke
Had her laughin' by the old jukebox
But halfway through
That slow-turn look
He dropped her hand left her lookin' in shock

He dipped her low
Then changed his mind
Left her starin' at the neon sign
Now when he waves
We check the time
Then turn away

[Chorus]
He's a two-step trouble in a pearl-snap shirt
Finds one more heart just to halfway hurt
Gets 'em all ready
Then he's ready to run
Sees a new girl when the song's half done
From the front of the bar to the back of the room
Every Friday night he just changes his tune
We all know his move
So we laugh and slide
Let him spin alone on the other side

[Bridge]
Now he's standin' by the rail
Boots in dust
Lookin' for a stranger he can trust
But the word got 'round from girl to girl
He's the last bad bet in this small world

[Chorus]
He's a two-step trouble in a pearl-snap shirt
Finds one more heart just to halfway hurt
Gets 'em all ready
Then he's ready to run
Sees a new girl when the song's half done
From the front of the bar to the back of the room
Every Friday night he just changes his tune
We just clap on beat while his legs just glide
Watch him spin alone
On the other side
