One Step |
| One step forward and two steps back |
| Been carrying them bricks upon my back |
| Bossman told me you ain’t getting paid |
| 'til the house is built and the bricks are laid |
| It’s made out of wood, made out of stone |
| I’m building that man a fancy home |
| That’s the way it is let me tell you jack |
| It’s one step forward and two steps back |
| Working man he got a row to hoe |
| He’s up in the morning and down the road |
| Carry them bricks and carry that stone |
| Making that man a fancy home |
| Rich man he don’t work no more |
| Talks on the phone to his stockbroker |
| That’s the way it is let me tell you jack |
| It’s one step forward and two steps back |
| Well I’m not a thinking man you see |
| And I’m not looking for no sympathy |
| But one of these days I’ll get my fill |
| Be down the road and over the hill |
| I won’t carry them bricks again |
| And I won’t do it for any man |
| If I use my brain instead of my back |
| I’ll be two steps forward and one step back |
| That’s the way it is let me tell you jack |
| It’s one step forward and two steps back |
