The First Step
(Doug Crider/Verlon Thompson)
The lights were hot and the beer was not
And the band was playin' loud
The house was full
But her eyes pulled me right cross the crowd
And I said how's a guy like me to get to know you
She said not so fast, let me show you
She said the first step is the two-step
I'm here to dance and nothing more
Swing me 'round that hardwood floor
If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk
The first step is the two-step then we'll talk
We sang along with every song
And the room was spinnin' 'round
We danced in line, she felt so fine
And we hardly hit the ground
So I said maybe we could make a reservation
For some wine with candlelight and conversation
She said the first step is the two-step
I'm here to dance and nothing more
Swing me 'round that hardwood floor
If you want to run with me, crawl before you walk
The first step is the two-step then we'll talk
Well first things first, let's two-step, then we'll talk
We recommend: The Old Laughing Lady
Sorry it's so late, But here we go again
We're sitting here together
Your hand in mine I could stay here forever
Given more time
Chorus:
Given more time to laugh and dance
Give more time to have the chance
To show you this where, I want to be
But that old clock up on the wall
It don't even care at all
Lord I wish I was given more time
For you and me
Honey how was your day
Did you spend it on the run
I know the kids are okay
Thanks for getting things done
In a few more hours, The sun's gonna
