(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.

Yeah, two steps forward
And six steps back again...
