[Verse 1]
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”
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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”
[Pre-Chorus]
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”
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Final Chorus]
‘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……
