Two Left Feet

boots kicked off in the bleachers, dust on your sundress hem

I’m laughin’ sayin’, “baby, you know dancin’ ain’t my thing”

you just grin and grab my hand, drag me out across that dirt

say, “boy, quit thinkin’ ‘bout your feet, just follow where it hurts”

you lay my palm on your hip, say “right here’s where you start”

count it out soft in my ear while you’re steerin’ my heart

you got my two left feet glidin’ like they’re on rails

spinnin’ in this rodeo dust ‘neath them string‑light halos pale

I don’t know the steps, but I’m locked up in your hands

girl, my heart learned how to two‑step

the night you taught me how to dance

I’m steppin’ all over your toes, you’re laughin’ like it don’t hurt

you say, “you ain’t steppin’ on my toes, you’re just steppin’ in my world”

band hits that fiddle run, you pull me a little more close

say, “loosen up that stubborn spine, let the whiskey lead your soul”

you spin out, spin back, crash right into my chest

say, “see? you ain’t no lost cause, boy, you’re just a work in progress”

you got my two left feet glidin’ like they’re on rails

spinnin’ in this rodeo dust ‘neath them string‑light halos pale

I don’t know the steps, but I’m locked up in your hands

girl, my heart learned how to two‑step

the night you taught me how to dance

now every small‑town friday, when that steel guitar sings

I’m still countin’ “one‑two, one‑two” to the beat of your heartbeat

and if this world falls apart, if the lights all go black

long as you’re hummin’ that old waltz, I swear I’ll find my way back

‘cause you got my two left feet glidin’ like they’re on rails

turnin’ this old fairground dust into our own little fairytale

I don’t know the steps, but I’m safe inside your hands

yeah, my whole life learned to two‑step

the night you taught me how to dance……
