Amie Comeaux Twelve Steps Down
(April Holbrook/N. McElroy)
I tried to give up on love
'Cause I knew I should
No matter how hard I tried
It didn't do me no good
I just stopped cold turkey
What else could I do
There were pieces of my heart all over town
And I was runnin' out of blue
I was feelin' okay
When I got out of bed
But what I saw outside my window
Was like a kick in the head
My hands started shakin'
I felt the cold chills begin
When I saw that truck pull up
Now look who's movin' in
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
I tried to get a better look
So I sneaked downstairs
And just three steps from the bottom
I saw him standing there
Ain't it just my luck
He says he wants to be my friend
He set two glasses on the table
Now he's invitin' me in
And he lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
He lives twelve steps down
In the apartment below
He's got what it takes to tempt a woman
Body and soul
And if I fall I ain't got far to go
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
Slidin' around
I'm losin' ground
He lives twelve steps down
Twelve steps down
